Survey and title checks in one order.
Combines the survey/charting review and title-history review in one order.
What it checks
What is in the order
- Combines the survey/charting review and title-history review in one order.
- Everything in Charting (Survey Search)
- Everything in Root of Title (Title History Search)
From the survey search: What does charting check?
- Government acquisition or reservation affecting the location
- Released land where reflected in the applicable records
- Coordinate overlap or spatial conflict with another parcel
- Whether the submitted coordinates correspond to the intended parcel
- Other issues visible from the relevant survey/charting records
What it does not do
- It does not settle who owns the land. Ownership is a legal question for a lawyer and a surveyor.
- Charting doesn't by itself show ownership or title.
- It reports what the records showed on the day they were searched. Registries can be incomplete or wrong.
- It is not legal advice, and it does not replace your own lawyer or surveyor.
What you need to upload
A photo of each page is fine, or a PDF. You add them first, before you pay anything.
- Survey plan
A clear copy of the whole survey plan, with the coordinates and the surveyor's details readable.
- Title document you were given
The main document the seller gave you, e.g. a deed of assignment, a C of O or a Governor's consent. Every page.

If you were given a deed of assignment, conveyance or similar, add it here.
- C of O or similar (if you have one)
Certificate of Occupancy, Governor's consent or another registered title document.
- Receipts and other papers (optional)
Purchase receipts, family or community papers, anything else the seller gave you.
- Seller's name
The person or family selling the land, exactly as on their documents.
- Grantor's name (if different)
If the documents name someone else as the grantor or original owner, add their name.
