Very well written and well thought out response Lisa. The answer to inaccurate, long-distance online title searches is right where it has always been. The answer is with the independent local abstractor providing accurate onsite reliable research.
I believe many lenders are beginning to rediscover the benefits offered only by the independent local abstractor.
The trial lawyers are discovering the failings of the online searches and there are suits springing up all over the country. Suits involving missed documents and suits involving documents placed online that break the privacy laws. It will probably be very rich ground for the attorneys. The two cases you cited are prime examples.
There is a place for technology and but it isn't with online searches done by nameless computers or employees in cubicles in India. It is with independent abstractors working at their local county court houses connected to the internet via mobile computers providing real time service to our clients.
