You may be missing the point. When an abstractor is asked to go back to the town hall to check something, it costs him money. The profit margin on the current owner searches is already excessively thin. If the abstractor was right in the first place the extra trip to re-check the information has taken most if not all of the profit out of the search. I agree that the abstractor should be more receptive to your concerns. However, I think that you also need to consider the cost to the abstractor. There is a simple answer to the problem employed by a large number of abstractors here in Connecticut. If you ask the abstractor to go out to re-check something, there is no charge if the abstractor was in fact wrong. If on the other hand the abstractor was correct in his original title report, you pay him a fee for the unnecessary trip.
