Because the system is complex it’s important to have a good attorney who can explain the process clearly. We love explaining this process and often suggest some options you might not have considered. If you are the buyer we will draft an appropriate document or review one prepared by a possible seller. We look for potential problems, make sure that it is written properly, and ensure that all the various contingencies are covered.
You have options about how to set up the title like joint tenancy, tenancy in common, etc. Because of that, we are ready to explain all the pros and cons of these different options in detail. We also happily address issues not covered by title insurance or a title examination. These issues can include zoning ordinances and other land-use restrictions, and water, sewer, and special assessment liens.
The closing process requires more steps. This includes a title search or title insurance binder, checking title’s status, and requiring the seller to correct any possible title issues. We also prepare the deed or review an existing one. In addition, we prepare any other closing or mortgage documents. Finally, we take care of creating any necessary bill of sale to cover any personal property included in the sale.
