Why hasn't it been converted to online forms somewhere? Any ideas? Turbotax has managed to web-ize one of the most paper intensive processes ever (taxes). So it's certainly possible. Granted, the IRS came out with eFile, which helps further un-paper-ize the process. But, fuck ya, what's the deal with all the house-buying paperwork. Can't we just convert that to a few pages of clicking but "I Agree" buttons? There must be some hang-up: either mental (the people who'd make the decision can't wrap their heads around NOT having paper), or money (it'd cost too much). What is the deal with all that paperwork?
