Frequently Asked Questions
1. When should I involve an attorney in a real estate transaction?
An attorney can assist before signing a purchase agreement and again during the closing stage. Early review can help address deadlines, inspection rights, financing terms, and contract language that affects risk.
2. What are common title issues that delay closing?
Common issues include unresolved liens, boundary concerns, recording errors, and missing releases. Title review and targeted corrections can help prevent last-minute delays.
3. Can an attorney review closing documents before I sign?
Yes, and it is recommended to do so. Closing documents often include obligations related to fees, prorations, deed terms, and loan requirements. A review from your real estate attorney can help confirm that the paperwork matches the agreement and the transaction terms.
