Common Questions
What's the difference between a real estate lawyer and a closing attorney?
A closing attorney is a real estate lawyer who specializes in closing a property transaction. Closing attorneys examine the title to a property and resolve any issues before the close. The closing attorney will review and explain all the documents that you will be signing at the closing and make sure they are accurate.
A real estate attorney is trained to handle a wider swath of real estate-related legal issues. You have the right to hire your own real estate attorney to represent your legal interests in a transaction.
Who Handles Closings in My State?
Whether or not a closing attorney manages the closing in your state, it's advisable to hire a real estate lawyer for a high-end property purchase (in excess of $3 million).
