If I might be so bold as to chip in - As an Examinar or Abstractor aren't you supposed to check the documents prior to writing up & sending your official exam to the title agent.  I have always been told there is a difference between a "searcher" and an "examiner".  The latter being the preferred choice because examiners actually check the records for the purpose of verifing information, i.e. legit releases, mis-indexed documents, forgeries or catching errors that would cloud the property (and upon request would provide copies).  A searcher on the other hand provides a list of what is there with no inspection of the actual record and it then is up to me to review the copies provided.  I only request copies when I think something looks odd or if the examiner has noted something that might require a second set of eyes.  Otherwise, I rely whole heartedly on my examiner. 

So, my thoughts are if I hired an actual "examiner" to do a job shouldn't that job constitute checking the actual documents for acuracy and errors.  One would think the examiner would do that just as a CYA position in case of problems later.  Now, granted we are all only human and subject to mistakes but this one sounds like carelessness on the part of the examiner.

As for the address, it depends on who you talk to on any given day as to who actually comes up with the address.  I have been told in the past it is the utility company that assigns them - that was many years ago tho and now I believe it is the Postal Service.  I worked with builders in the past that half way through a subdivision (half built & sold) had to change the street names for one reason or another.  Talk about a nightmare....long story which is why I say it depends on who you ask. 

My opinion, given the other errors mentioned this examiner falls into the searcher role - and apparently not a very good one.  Thanks for sharing Diane.  It gives me something to check with my owners and examiner about.  Doug - you know who you are - what you say????
