Title Intelligence

Owners, runsheets, chain and curative.

01   Owners & holdings

Find an owner. Follow every property, right and title package.

Every owner across your AOIs, by estate, with title status.

Product screen: owners and holdings in the Alder Flat AOI, five owners with their properties, rights in scope and title status. Example data.
  • Landman

    The problem

    Owner research runs across assessor sites, recorder books and spreadsheets.

    With GridSpan

    Each owner arrives with parcels, estates and title status on one record.

  • Head of Land

    The problem

    No one can say who holds what across a project until the research is done.

    With GridSpan

    Holdings across every AOI and estate, in one view your team shares.

  • VP Development

    The problem

    The owners behind a site show up after the site already looks good.

    With GridSpan

    See how many owners and estates stand behind a site before you commit to it.

02   Runsheet & documents

Instruments in order, gaps flagged.

Drafted from the recorder’s index, each instrument by book and page.

Product screen: a title runsheet for the southeast quarter of Section 14, six instruments and one flagged gap from 1961 to 1974. Example data.
  • Title examiner

    The problem

    Runsheets are typed by hand from index books and scanned images.

    With GridSpan

    Start from a drafted runsheet, then confirm or return each instrument.

  • Landman

    The problem

    Pulling the instruments for a tract takes days at the courthouse or in a county portal.

    With GridSpan

    Instruments come listed and tied to the tract, ready for review.

03   Chain of title

The chain, link by link, for every estate.

Surface, minerals, water and easements, each link cited and each gap flagged.

Product screen: chain of title for the southeast quarter of Section 14 by estate, surface, minerals, water and easements, each link cited, with a gap from 1961 to 1974 flagged. Example data.
  • Title examiner

    The problem

    Each estate’s chain is rebuilt by hand, often from the same instruments.

    With GridSpan

    Chains come assembled and cited. You confirm or return each link.

  • Land manager

    The problem

    A break in title surfaces after the offer is out.

    With GridSpan

    Breaks show before outreach, so offers go to owners who can sign.

  • Head of Land

    The problem

    Title status lives in examiners’ files and email.

    With GridSpan

    Every tract’s chain and status on one record your team and counsel share.

04   Exceptions & curative

Every exception, worked to resolution.

Each exception carries its curative step, a person and a due date.

Product screen: four title exceptions for Section 14, each with its curative step, the person assigned, a due date and a status. Example data.
  • Title examiner

    The problem

    Exceptions are tracked in memos and spreadsheets.

    With GridSpan

    Each exception has its curative step, owner and due date on the record.

  • Head of Land

    The problem

    Curative work stalls and no one notices.

    With GridSpan

    Open exceptions and due dates in one list, by tract and by person.

  • VP Development

    The problem

    Title risk on a site shows up late.

    With GridSpan

    Open title risk shows for each site before the Go, Hold or Kill call.
