It’s not about who can access the records, because anyone can.
It’s about knowing how to do a title search. Experience. What to pay attention to and what to ignore. Knowing what the variety of document types means, and what their expiration guidelines are according to your state’s statute of limitations. Some documents have periods of appeal after expiration that must be considered when trying to determine if a document is still valid.
You also need to know how far back in a property’s history you need to search for different purposes.
Check the blog about how to perform a title search and what searches are necessary.

Now, if you only want a specific document, and you know the book & page number, then call the records office and they’ll likely email it to you. If not, go there and ask for a copy of it. However, if you do not know the book and page number, you’ll have to search the records yourself.
We hope this helps you.
