Our Real Estate Closing Practice
A significant amount of our real estate practice is devoted to providing full service representation to borrowers and lenders at closings. We often facilitate closings through providing escrow services, which may be provided either by our firm or our firm-owned title company, Scott County Title, LLC. Title insurance needs are fulfilled through our representation of Stewart Title Guaranty Company and Westcor Land Title Insurance Company.
For Real Estate Purchasers
For clients purchasing real estate, our services generally include:
- Reviewing the closing documents to ensure that they are accurate and complete
- Reviewing title opinions or title insurance documents to determine whether any material adverse matters or title defects have been identified (and, when such matters have been identified, working with clients and sellers or their counsel to determine whether such matters or defects can be cured)
- Providing representation at closing
For Real Estate Sellers
For clients selling real estate, our services generally include:
- Preparing the closing documents (or reviewing the same for accuracy and completeness if they have already been prepared by the lender)
- If there is no lender, preparing the agreements, settlement statement, and closing documents (including deeds) for the purchase and sale
- Providing representation at closing
