Some projects test the limits of what’s possible. When a client requested an energy search going all the way back to patent in a county notorious for its complicated records, most companies wouldn’t even take the job. Capitol Lien said yes, and Edna Grife, Certified Abstractor, stepped up to make it happen.
The challenges were stacked against her from the start. The county’s records are grantor/grantee only, with limited access to title plants. Searches of this nature are known to take over 40 hours each when dealing with 100-year histories.
To solve complex chain-of-title issues, Edna leaned on her deep expertise, tracking down probate and death records to piece the puzzle together. Every day, her regular workload kept coming in alongside this massive undertaking. But every day, Edna rose to the challenge and refused to give up.
Clients are often unaware of how much effort goes into searches like these. The countless hours, the dead ends, the meticulous cross-referencing… it all adds up. In this case, the client’s patience was met with our unwavering commitment to getting it done right. Edna’s perseverance and expertise are why Capitol Lien can confidently take on work others won’t.
