One process we intentionally do less efficiently is deed drafting and legal description review. When preparing a deed, we don’t just copy the legal description from the most recent deed in the chain of title, even though that would be faster. We review several prior deeds to make sure the legal description actually matches the entire property being conveyed. Sometimes owners have bought or sold small strips of adjoining land over the years, and the most recent deed may only describe that smaller piece instead of the full property. Taking the extra time to trace the chain of title helps us avoid major errors that could create title problems or boundary disputes later. So it’s less efficient in the short term, but far more effective for protecting the client and ensuring a clean closing.
