The backbone of our service is the examination of title and preparation of a thorough report. The report incorporates the recorded documents in the chain of title and a detailed discussion of their effect, supplying statutory, case law and regulatory citations in support. In addition, when needed, historical and/or genealogical material from outside the immediate chain of title will be integrated into the analysis. The report frequently helps counsel get a clear understanding of the relative strengths and weaknesses of their client's case. It is not unusual for the report to be shared with the adversary and form the basis for settlement discussions.
