California Real Estate Attorney
Real Estate Attorney
A real estate attorney is a lawyer who specializes in real estate law. In certain states, a real estate attorney typically oversees the closing process. The "closing" attorney remains a neutral third party and provides the settlement services that a title company or escrow agent would handle in other states.
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.
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).
