Frequently asked questions
Scope before speed. Sources before certainty.
The short version: TitleDraft does the document and drafting groundwork; your licensed professional makes every final call.

What still needs professional judgment?
Service and scope
Who is TitleDraft for?+
Licensed surveyors, surveying firms, and survey/CAD teams handling ALTA-related or title-heavy drafting work. The standard online service is not offered directly to property owners, lenders, title companies, or attorneys.
Is this surveying or legal advice?+
No. TitleDraft is drafting and document-processing support. It does not provide surveys, legal descriptions for recordation, legal advice, title opinions, boundary or easement determinations, survey certification, or final professional interpretations.
Does TitleDraft decide which exceptions affect the property?+
No. The spreadsheet records the source language and drafting relevance. Applicability, legal effect, location, and final survey treatment remain with the responsible licensed professional.
What if my project exceeds the standard limits?+
The form submits it for manual scope review without collecting payment or requiring the title report. TitleDraft will reply by email if the project can be accepted.
Files and deliverables
What file is required?+
One title-report or title-commitment PDF. Optional supporting instruments and a reference DXF can be added during intake.
What happens to linked instruments?+
Accessible HTTP(S) links are downloaded and saved with a predictable exception/recording-reference naming scheme. Inaccessible, expired, or login-protected links stay visible as missing or inaccessible.
What does plottable mean here?+
It is a drafting status, not a legal conclusion. A potentially plottable item has source language that appears sufficient for a draft CAD attempt. The PLS still reviews the calls, units, basis, closure, location, applicability, and final treatment.
Will every exception receive a DXF?+
No. Only supported potentially plottable exceptions receive individual draft DXFs. Text-only, informational, ambiguous, missing-document, and out-of-scope items remain in the spreadsheet and review memo.
What CAD information is included?+
The draft file identifies calls used, documented source units, assumptions, closure and residual information, and unresolved questions. It does not claim final alignment, georeferencing, or firm-specific CAD compliance unless expressly agreed.
Timing, payment, and privacy
How long does a standard project take?+
Within three business days after payment and receipt of usable files. TitleDraft will contact you if missing instruments or a material scope issue changes that expectation.
When am I charged?+
Only after the intake passes the standard scope gate and the title-report PDF is uploaded and verified. Stripe hosts the card checkout.
What is the correction policy?+
Report a missed written-scope item, source citation, transcription, or agreed formatting defect within seven calendar days after delivery. One correction pass is included. If TitleDraft cannot bring the delivery within scope after that correction, the fee is refunded.
Is AI used?+
Yes. TitleDraft may use OCR and AI-assisted extraction and review tools under operator supervision. AI output is treated as draft assistance, checked against source material, and never used as a substitute for licensed professional judgment.
How long are files retained?+
Abandoned unpaid uploads are scheduled for deletion after seven days. Paid project source files and work products are scheduled for deletion 30 days after delivery. Minimal payment, consent, and security records may remain.
