A Closing Attorney is a legal professional who specializes in overseeing the closing process of real estate transactions. Their primary role is to ensure that all legal documents are properly prepared, reviewed, and executed. They also facilitate communication between the buyer, seller, and other parties involved, such as lenders and real estate agents.
During the closing, the attorney ensures that all financial aspects, including the transfer of funds and payment of closing costs, are handled correctly. They also provide guidance on any legal issues that may arise, ensuring that the transaction complies with local laws and regulations related to real estate, such as property law and title insurance.
