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.
