# Title search examination software that ties every exception to the instrument behind it

> Title search examination is the review of records turned up by a title search to decide what actually affects marketable title and what must be cleared before closing. Searches typically run 40 to 60 years back across 3,143 US counties, each with its own index, and federal roots sit in more than 5,000,000 land patents. Neurobird builds the exception list from the instruments themselves and tracks each curative requirement until it clears.

## What Neurobird Title Search Examination does

- Turn a raw search into a structured exception list instead of retyped commitment text
- Track each curative requirement to the person chasing it and the document that clears it
- Apply the same examination standard across examiners, not per person habit
- Hand the underwriter a file that shows the reasoning, not just the conclusion

## How it works

1. **Load the search** Instruments come in from your search source with book, page, date, type and parties intact, not as loose images.
2. **Raise exceptions against instruments** Every exception and requirement is created on the instrument that caused it, so the reasoning is visible later.
3. **Track curative to close** Each requirement has an owner, a document it waits on and a status, so the file shows what is actually blocking the 30 day clock.

- **3,143** US counties and equivalents, each indexing land records their own way, which is why an examination standard has to survive changing counties. (source: US Census Bureau, County Business Patterns, https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp.html)
- **5,000,000** Federal land title records in the General Land Office index, the root of the chain for a large share of US parcels. (source: Bureau of Land Management, General Land Office records, https://glorecords.blm.gov/)
- **1026.37** The Regulation Z section that puts title and settlement charges on the Loan Estimate, which is why examination delays become disclosure problems. (source: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Regulation Z, https://www.consumerfinance.gov/rules-policy/regulations/1026/37/)

- **1 opinion** A title search produces records. The examination produces the opinion, and only the opinion is insurable. (source: Cornell Legal Information Institute, title search, https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/title_search)

## Questions

### What is title search examination?

Title search examination is the review of the records turned up by a title search to decide what actually affects marketable title, and what the buyer or lender must clear before closing. The examiner reads the chain, the liens, the easements and the legal description, then writes the exceptions and requirements that go on the commitment.

### How is examination different from the search itself?

The search collects the recorded instruments. The examination judges them. Two files with identical search results can produce different commitments, because the examiner decides which 40 year old easement still matters and which 2019 judgment attaches to this parcel.

### What is a curative requirement?

Anything that has to be recorded or produced before the policy can issue: a missing release, a corrective deed, an affidavit of heirship, a probate order. Most delays in a closing are not search delays, they are curative delays, and they run on somebody chasing a county clerk.

### Does this replace our title production system?

No. It sits on the examination step. The search comes in from wherever you get it, the exceptions and requirements are built here with the instrument attached, and the finished Schedule B goes back out to your production system.
