Navigating the Basic Information Screen (BC)

This screen contains general information about the file, such as file number, closing date, purchase price, parties information, parties' representatives, and insurance information. Data completed in date and financial-related fields will be used to calculate the adjustments in/out amounts on the Financial screen.

Basic Information screen

This is where the Purchaser(s), Vendor(s), Firm Contact, Fire Insurance, Title Insurance Provider, and other basic information are added to or edited in the file.

Some of the fields may have been completed during file creation, such as Purchaser(s), Firm Contact, etc. Complete any fields that have not been completed. The more information included in your file, the more complete your documents will be throughout the transaction. You can always come back and add information as it becomes available. The edit button to the right of some fields allows you to modify the information in that database record, for example, a lawyer. Clicking on this button will open a screen that allows you to modify or enter information.
