We'll accept updates where we didn't do the original search, BUT we insist on either the commitment or the back-up work from the original abstractor.  9 times out of 10 that's not a problem.  If they cancel, that's ok, too.  We won't accept an update that has a name, address and old effective date without the original work even tho most clients are perplexed!  None of them seem to understand that it would mean reinventing the wheel:  what mortgages were outstanding?  any liens?  who was actually in title?  (I mean, giving us a single name...come on.  What about possible spouse?)
