Let me introduce you to the office and myself.
My name is Jim Ladwig. I was elected to be the next Register of Deeds for Racine County in November 2004. I was sworn into office January 3, 2005. I have a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. My major was Communications (Public Relations) and my minor was Public Administration. I have a work background in real estate and law enforcement.
Now let me tell you about our office: We process more than 60,000 documents each year. Like many other counties, we utilize computerized indexing and high
speed scanning equipment to process these documents as efficiently as
possible.
But the most exciting news is that on January 15, 2003
we became the 10th county in the nation to begin accepting completely
electronic documents. In this model, financial institutions create
satisfactions of mortgages in a web-based application that submits these
documents to our electronic recording server via the Internet. The
documents are never converted to paper. The system has built-in edits to
ensure that all required information is included. Endorsements are
applied electronically. Indexing is completely automated. No manual
data entry is required. The entire process takes only 45 seconds!
Check out our Electronic Recording page for more information on this exciting
process.
