I can answer this first hand. Only local abstractors or local abstract companies know the statues of the state they are abstracting in. If you are a company out of state and use the online database to retrieve your documents....your going to get stung and hard one day !!!!

I know what I am to look for in the legal language of a document, which judgement will and will not hold up in a court of law and I also know if a document is a real deed that will defend against the claim of another.

I know this because I am a paralegal and I have abstracted in my state for a while.

Beware those of you who abstract out of state useing data bases and don't know the laws of that particular state!!!! You will loose in the long run.
