This course reviews the basic operations of the office of register of deeds and is intended for those with several years of experience in a register of deeds office. It is different from the Basic School in that it offers more opportunities to ask questions about difficult issues encountered in practice, and it does not include an exam for initial NCARD certification. It is different from the School for Elected Registers of Deeds in that it does not cover managerial or leadership topics. The course provides instruction on the following: overview of county government and its revenues and expenditures; sources of law and rules governing registers of deeds; organization and responsibilities of the office; introduction to real estate instruments; recording and indexing real property instruments; vital records; public records management; and marriage licenses.
