Closing
Closings:
Generally you will go into your attorney’s office and sit down and go over the paperwork with
the attorney. Sign your document and wait for the county to record the new deed.
On occasion there may be the need for a “mail away closing”. This is for out-of-town buyers,
etc. The attorney will overnight you a closing package, you will then take that package and
sign those documents in the presence of a notary. You will overnight that package back to the
lender for recording.
Attorneys:
You will choose a closing attorney, your agent will be able to help assist you with this process.
Once selected, the closing attorney will be responsible for ensuring that title insurance is
ordered, title search is ordered, they will prepare all your closing documents and balance final
numbers with your lender.
What Is Title Insurance:
A clear title is a necessity for any real estate transaction. The title company will search public
records and confirm a property legal ownership. Title Insurance protects against loss or
damage occurring from liens, encumbrances, or defects in a property title or actual ownership.
