VIP in CT that the recording abstractor ask about those loose documents. Last spring, in one City Clerk's office, the Clerk's assistant had been on vacation for a week and two MAJOR CT law firms filed HUGE stacks of collection & foreclosure notices/liens during that time, along with all the "regular" mail and recording that comes daily into a City Clerk's office. The computer index was behind by a few days ... and falling further behind as I stood in line to look at the loose documents.
No one's fault. No one to blame. The Clerk was spending every minute answering two telphone lines and dealing with attorneys, abstractors, and taxpaying residents standing at the counter recording, getting marriage licenses, getting certified copies of various certificates, getting dog & fishing licenses and various other "jobs" that the Clerk's office handles. In between calls and customers, she was reviewing each Land Records recording document and entering it into the index database - to be proofread when her assistant came back.
I spent the better part of an hour reviewing those loose documents before I recorded to confirm none of those liens were on our subject property or past owner.
