Interpret and analyze deed language, probate records, and ownership history
Compile accurate runsheets and ownership reports per client specifications

Extensive title research experience in courthouse settings
Ability to interpret a wide variety of deeds, conveyance types, and probate matters
Skilled in building chain of title and ownership reports from scratch
Experience with or ability to quickly learn deed plotting software
Extremely tech-savvy and detail-obsessed
