Your time is valuable. Let CATIC/VATC make those unprofitable title update trips to the town clerks’ offices for you. We’ll recover relevant information and send you a complete title update and/or mortgage discharge.
The Service:
After closing, CATIC/VATC sends an experienced title searcher to the land records to obtain final recording information and conduct a title update. We’ll send you an e-mail report of our findings and disclose to you the existence of any documents filed during the “gap” period.
Ordering:
Ordering is easy! Submit your request via TOPS. Once the completed updated has been received, mail a copy of the confirmation email with the fee to our Rocky Hill office.
If you have not used TOPS, please contact Katie for information on how to submit a request, thank you.
VATC’s Responsibilities:
- Make one visit to the land records per transaction approximately 45 days post-closing
- Complete a title update from the Commitment date (your search date) to the recording date of the closing documents
- Confirm proper execution and recording of pertinent documents
Reporting:
CATIC/VATC will communicate the results of its search via e-mail to your office. We will provide all final recording information and/or any discovered title issues which may need further attention. If a Corrective Affidavit is needed to correct a reported problem, several different forms may be located here.
Fee:
- Update only: The cost of the CATIC/VATC update service is $40 per update. If the property is located in two towns, the fee is $40 per town. These fees are normally assessed to the borrower at closing.
- Update & One Mortgage Discharge: $65.00*
- Update & Two Mortgage Discharges: $90.00*
- Add $25.00 for each additional discharge to be tracked*
* If you are using the discharge tracking service, an authorization letter MUST be completed by the seller/borrower (if a refinance) prior to or ate closing AND included with your post-closing update request. This is in addition to a copy of the payoff statement. Without these two documents up-front, this service cannot be utilized. Click here for the authorization letter.
