Post-close: recording, taxes, the file
Lesson 6 of 6 · Close it
1 · Learn the move · Fact-check list
The closing is not over when the wire lands. It is over when the recorded deed comes back from the county saying what the contract said, the tax notices are going to you, and the file can prove all of it in five years. Most errors surface here and most go unnoticed: a grantee name that dropped 'LLC', a call in the legal description typed North where the exhibit says South, a tax bill still addressed to the seller. A fact-check list turns the returned deed into a set of claims checked against the packet, each marked MATCH, MISMATCH or NOT IN FILE. The model finds the mismatch. Whether it needs a corrective instrument, and what kind, is for the attorney who drew the deed and, for a legal description, the surveyor.
Check the recorded deed below against my closing packet. Make a list: each fact on the recorded deed, what the packet says, MATCH / MISMATCH / NOT IN FILE, and the source for both. Then list the post-close items the file still lacks. Do not tell me whether a mismatch needs fixing or how. [recorded deed] [contract exhibit] [closing statement] [recorder receipt]
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
Three weeks after you closed on a 17-acre tract in Ostrand County, the recorded deed came back in the mail. You glanced at the recording stamp and filed it. You have not compared it word for word against the contract's legal description exhibit or the closing statement. Write the prompt that does that check before you list the tract for sale.
Write the prompt for this scenario as given, or swap in a real one from your own work. The score works the same either way.
Remember: the AI sees only your prompt, not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
Optional. These shape the output when you run your prompt below, not your score.
