Deed plotting for title professionals

Paste the legal description from an instrument, or upload the instrument itself, and the parcel it describes is drawn on the screen with its closure report. It is the same reading a surveyor gets.

What you see

• The drawing of the parcel, on the page, as soon as the reading is done.
• Every call listed beside it, so each line can be read back against the words it came from.
• The closure: the gap between the last corner and the first, the ratio it works out to, and the area, with the area the deed recites beside it when the deed states one.

What you can download

• A PDF sheet of the drawing with its call table and its closure, to print or to put in the file.
• A DXF, for CAD.
• The drawing as a shapefile.

A whole packet at once

Upload up to 200 documents in one batch on a paid plan. Each one is read and drawn, an email tells you when the batch is ready, and every drawing comes down in one download. A described exception or easement plots as its own figure, so it can be seen against the tract it came out of.

What goes in

• A description pasted as text, or the instrument as a PDF, a .txt file, or a photo of the page.
• Descriptions in metes and bounds, and descriptions in aliquot parts; for those, the section’s own shape as a DXF if you have it, otherwise a standard one-mile section.

Deed to DXF lists in full what a description can say and what the drawing carries.

What it costs

The free plan reads five deeds a month and does not ask for a card. Up to three of their pages may be scans; the other deeds go in as pasted text. A paid seat has no limit on pasted text deeds and includes 5,000 scanned pages a month. See pricing.
