How it works
From recorded instrument to signed memo.
Four steps. The paralegal stays in the loop on every one.
- 01
Upload recorded documents
Deeds, mortgages, and satisfactions — PDFs from the county recorder, or scans of the originals.
- 02
Mesne extracts structured data
Every field — parties, recording reference, legal description, prior instruments — comes back with a confidence score and a citation to the source page.
- 03
Paralegal reviews and approves
Low-confidence fields auto-expand for review. Edits are append-only and audited. The paralegal still owns the file.
- 04
Mesne composes the deliverables
Chain of title, ALTA Schedule A and B, commitment narrative — all stitched from the approved extractions, with provenance back to each instrument.
What it does
Three jobs, done in the open.
What’s shipped today vs. what’s coming, separated honestly. Title firms decide what to trust.
Extracts
Recorded instruments, field by field.
- Deeds, mortgages, and satisfactions
- Plats, easements, restrictions, judgmentscoming
Composes
The deliverables that go to closing.
- ALTA 2021 commitments — Schedule A, B-I, B-II, Exhibit A
- Chain-of-title narratives from approved extractions
- Commitment prose in the firm’s voice
Proves
Every claim traces back to the document.
- Every field carries a citation to the source page
- Every correction is logged with timestamp and user
- Full provenance from commitment back to recorded instrument
Why Mesne
What we are. What we aren’t.
Three positions on what title software should and shouldn’t do.
Replaces the abstractor, not the paralegal.
Mesne reads recorded instruments and extracts the data your abstractor would have prepared. The paralegal still drives the file — reviews, corrects, approves. The judgment stays with the firm.
One workflow, every artifact.
Title commitments today — settlement statements, closing disclosures, deeds, and policies coming as part of the same workflow, on the same matter, in the same surface. Most platforms in this space grew by acquisition and now ask paralegals to context-switch between separate modules. Mesne treats a matter as the atomic unit because that's how the work actually flows.
Built around the chain, not the form.
A commitment isn't a Word template — it's an argument about how title moved through time. Mesne treats the chain as a first-class object, with break detection, anchor-party verification, and an audit trail back to every recorded instrument.
