Recording deeds is a delicate process.
An error made when recording a deed could have serious adverse effects
on an owner’s future right to use or sell the property. For
this reason, recorders have developed strict procedures for handling
each transaction carefully and accurately. These procedures are
so ingrained that new methods are rarely adopted, even while new
technologies allow the sender to deliver documents and data in a
multitude of different formats (Word, TIFF, Adobe Acrobat, etc.),
and through an increasing variety of media. No longer just hand-delivered
as paper copies, documents come on floppy disks, zip disks, and
jaz disks, and through faxes, emailed attachments, FTP, and other
means, making it difficult for the recorder to keep organized records.
eRecording is a comprehensive online document and data exchange
system that allows title companies to automate their recording processes
with increased accuracy and efficiency. eRecording provides easy
preparation of documents and allows for the use of both hard copies
and electronic documents in a variety of file formats, including
Word, WordPerfect, Acrobat, and TIFF. eRecording automatically converts
each different document type to one common, unalterable format so
it can be legally authenticated and distributed electronically.
The system’s open architecture allows it to be modified to
accommodate any state’s existing workflow. Transitioning to
eRecording is easy, too. eRecording’s open architecture makes
it easy to create an electronic process that mimics a company’s
existing paper process, eliminating development costs and the need
to create new administrative procedures.
