Helping Our Clients Understand the Closing Process

We are committed to having an Attorney conduct each closing, as there are a multitude of legal issues associated with buying or refinancing a home. Each purchase closing presents parties with interdependent rights and obligations, and every loan closing involves the commitment to important loan documentation containing varied financing terms. Only an attorney with significant experience can be ready to address all the varied legal questions and issues that arise in the closing.

About Surveys

When purchasing a home, a survey of the property conducted by a Registered Land Surveyor is strongly recommended in order to uncover and avoid serious problems such as encroachments, restrictive covenant setback violations, boundary disputes, deed gaps and overlaps, etc., before you buy. It should be considered an integral part of both our title examination and your due diligence investigation of the property. Although it may be a prudent investment, unless it is a specific requirement of your lender, the decision to invest in a survey is yours. We encourage our Buyers to consider it carefully and inform us promptly of their decision. A home is generally the single largest investment a person will make in his or her lifetime.
