Deeds read, exhibits drafted — in minutes, not weeks.

Two tools for land teams, built on the same geometry. The Deed Plotter turns deed text into a closed, placed boundary. Legal Exhibits turns your parcel and easement delivery into a finished package for every parcel.

Coming soon Free accounts: everything short of export. See pricing for export options.

Legal Exhibits · Negotiation Sketches

Upload once. Validate. Generate. Download.

One delivery in, a complete package out, with a checkpoint in the middle so nothing is drawn against data you haven't seen first.

01 · Upload

Send your delivery

A GeoPackage, or a zip of a File Geodatabase or shapefiles, with your parcels and easement footprints. Add a line list to carry deed and survey references onto each sheet.

02 · Validate

Checked before anything runs

Ellicott finds the coordinate zone, layers and parcel identifiers, then scores the delivery: centerline inside the easement, footprint widths, geometry validity, parcel overlaps.

03 · Generate

Confirm, then draw

You see exactly what was found, and the estimated fee, before processing starts. Preview sample sheets free first if you want to.

Take the whole package

An exhibit for every affected parcel, the acreage and length table, and the GIS and CAD files you asked for.

The sheet

An exhibit for every parcel, drawn from validated geometry.

Each sheet carries the easement and workspace areas, the centerline length in feet and rods, a line table, crossings and detail frames where the geometry needs them. Legal Exhibits add a metes-and-bounds description written from the same boundary.

  • Permanent easement, temporary workspace and additional workspace, each computed per parcel
  • Detail sheets placed automatically where a crossing is too tight to read
  • Your client's logo on the sheet, on paid plans
A generated easement exhibit: exhibit title, centerline length and acreages, the parcel with its easement strip, a line table, legend and title block.
The description

The legal description, written from the same line.

Each Legal Exhibit comes with its Exhibit A: a centerline description with the point of beginning and termination in grid coordinates, every course, the length in feet and rods, and the easement and workspace areas, all taken from the geometry on the sheet.

  • Coordinates stated in the delivery's own state plane zone
  • Survey and county carried from the parcel data and line list
  • Drafted for review by a licensed surveyor, who signs and seals it
A generated Exhibit A centerline description for a fifty-foot permanent easement.
The checkpoint

Problems found before the drawing starts.

A delivery scorecard checks the data you sent before a single sheet is drawn, and says in plain language what it found. Nothing blocks the run, but you see every warning first.

  • Coordinate zone detected and confirmed
  • Parcel identifier and owner fields confirmed by you
  • Re-runs and re-downloads of a delivered project are free
The delivery scorecard listing passed checks and one warning about overlapping parcels.
One geometry

A deed becomes a parcel, and the parcel becomes an exhibit.

When a client has no parcel layer, plot the deeds instead. A placed deed, or a whole assembly of adjoining deeds, promotes straight into a exhibit project as its parcels. Every output keeps the same geometry, so the table, the map layer and the sheet always agree.

  • 01 Plot and check the deeds for a corridor, and assemble the adjoiners
  • 02 Promote the placed tracts into a project, alongside the route
  • 03 Draw the exhibits from that one set of boundaries

Principles

Built to be checked.

Every number traces back to its source.

A deed call points to the words it was read from; an exhibit's acreage comes from the same boundary the sheet draws. Where the input is ambiguous, Ellicott says so rather than guessing.

Your documents stay with the work.

Deeds are read by recognition software on our own servers, and are never sent to an AI model or an outside service to be read.

Free accounts are coming soon.

Plot deeds, or preview exhibits from your own data, at no charge. Until then, the pricing sheet has current prices and how to reach us.
