How Can A Lawyer Help at a Real Estate Closing

Hiring an experienced real estate lawyer can help protect your legal interests at closing. There could be a number of issues that arise that could either complicate the deal or pose a risk to your finances. An attorney can help you renegotiate if necessary or even negotiate to keep the deal as intact as possible in light of the challenges.

Every real estate closing has numerous documents that must be reviewed before they can be signed. Do not make the mistake of rushing through these documents. Your legal rights are described in these documents, and any errors could cost you in the future. An attorney can review the document before you sign them.

In addition, you may learn of defects in the title of the property during a title search before closing. If that is the case, action must be taken in order for the deal to close. Either the cloud on the title must be removed, the deal renegotiated, or it may fall through entirely. If there are title defects, an attorney can help negotiate and resolve the matter.

Finally, there may be specific issues that could impact the closing. For example, if there are covenants and restrictions from an HOA, the buyer must be aware of these. There could be a unique and complex situation, such as a short sale from a foreclosure. Regardless of the issue, hiring an attorney is an investment that can help ensure a smoother closing process.
