Abstract

As individual counties in Amercian states are computerising land title records, a few are introducing protocols so title insurance companies and other professional title searchers can obtain search access to those records from off-site locations, including through the Internet. Full public access may soon follow. This paper, presented at the 1st AUSTLII Conference on Computerisation of Law via the Internet, explores the background of this development and examines the public policy and legal issues that arise from this new use of the Internet.
