AI for Title Examiner
Writing clear Schedule B exception language takes 30–60 minutes per order, and when an attorney or lender pushes back on an exception, you need to explain a 1987 easement in plain English to someone who has never read a title commitment before. These guides show you how to draft exception language, deficiency notices, and plain-language explanations faster — reducing the writing bottleneck without touching the judgment work only you can do.

Classify Title Exception Severity
A prioritized list of title exceptions organized by severity — standard/minor, requires resolution before closing, or needs underwriter review — with brief reasoning for each.
I'm a title examiner. For each item below, classify it as: (1) Standard exception — include as-is, (2) Requirement — must be resolved before closing, or (3) Escalate to underwriter. Give a brief reason. [List your found encumbrances, one per line]
Tip: This is most useful when you've done the search and have a list of items but aren't sure which need action. Paste up to 10-15 items at once. Cross-check any "escalate" calls with your underwriter — AI can miss state-specific nuances.
Compare Two Legal Descriptions
A clear comparison of two property legal descriptions with any discrepancies called out — so you can catch mismatches before they become title problems.
Compare these two legal descriptions and tell me if they describe the same property or if there are any discrepancies. Mark any differences clearly. Description 1: [paste first description] Description 2: [paste second description]
Tip: This works well for comparing the deed description to the commitment or the survey to the prior policy. If AI flags a discrepancy, always verify against original recorded documents before escalating.
Draft a Title Deficiency Notice
A professional deficiency or rejection notice for a closing file — clearly stating what's missing and what's needed to proceed.
Write a professional title deficiency notice. Property: [address]. Missing item: [e.g., "recorded release of a 2019 lien from ABC Mortgage, Book 112 Page 88"]. Recipient: [closing attorney / seller's agent]. Firm but polite tone.
Tip: Specify the recipient (closing attorney vs. real estate agent vs. lender) so the tone and technical detail level are appropriate. For multiple deficiencies, list them all — AI handles multi-item notices cleanly.
Draft Schedule B Exception Language
Ready-to-use Schedule B exception language for a title commitment, written in standard ALTA format.
Write a Schedule B exception for a title commitment. The encumbrance is: [describe it — e.g., "a 20-foot utility easement along the east boundary, recorded 1992, Book 88 Page 44, in favor of the county"].
Tip: Add "Use standard ALTA commitment language" to get more consistent formatting. If you need a Schedule B-1 requirement instead of a B-2 exception, say so explicitly.
