Being a professional title abstractor/examiner requires extensive training by someone who has been working in the field for quite some time.  The points covered in the video are actually basic standard practice for anyone working in this field.  

 It  also seems to me that one very important problem regarding title errors that wasn't covered in the video is the responsibility that lies with the client- and that would be their decision to look only at price points and to hire the cheapest available abstractor out there.

Sometimes rock bottom pricing means bottom of the barrel service.  

And I have to agree with Alix and disagree with the video as to online records.  None of the counties I cover has created paper indices for something like 20 years.  The online records  available out of the Registry come from the same computer feed as the one that's in the Registry.  That business about *at your own risk* blah blah was put in place in most Registries at about the same time that computerized records became available (circa 1983-84).  Back in the day, there was a lot of risk in relying on the online records for a variety of reasons.  In those days, the Registries were still producing paper indices and those index books were the only totally accurate source for Registry data.  

Having said that - I will note that when I am in an unfamiliar Registry I always look first for the reassuring presence of printed indices.  The printed books, I've found, are always the best first option.  I will also note that, partly due to the lack of printed indices (& partly due to old age lol) I no longer travel the State of Massachusetts the way I used to.   I know of two Registries that use the exact same computer system; yet do their inputting completely differently - so a document taken grantor in one place is taken grantee in the other place and these Registries are only about 20 miles distant from one another.  

 My final take on this is that the best and easiest solution is to always hire a local yokel, someone who's familiar with local Registry practices; and someone who can also produce a stack of references attesting to their familiarity with local RODs.
