Closing representation is the attorney-guided coordination of all steps necessary to finalize a real estate transaction. It helps protect your interests by ensuring title is clear, disclosures are complete, and deadlines are met. By having an attorney oversee the process, you receive professional oversight through every stage of the closing.
Closing timelines vary with transaction complexity, lender requirements, and title findings. In many Planada closings, a standard buyer-seller closing can occur within 30 to 45 days, assuming all documents are ready and conditions are met. Your attorney can provide a more precise timeline based on your specifics.
Common documents include the purchase agreement, executed disclosures, title report, loan documents, and identification. Your closing team will provide a detailed checklist tailored to your transaction.
While not required, having a lawyer oversee the closing helps protect your interests, ensure compliance, and manage deadlines. A professional can also help navigate complex issues that arise during the process.
Typical costs include recording fees, title insurance, transfer taxes, lender escrows, and settlement charges. Your attorney can explain each item and help you plan accordingly.
Escrow coordinates the transfer of funds and documents between buyers, sellers, lenders, and title companies. The escrow holder operates under instructions in your closing agreement to ensure a smooth, secure closing.
Title insurance protects against losses from defects in the title. It provides peace of mind to buyers and lenders by covering covered risks identified in the title search.
If issues surface after closing, our team can help with post-closing corrections, title updates, and pursuing remedies when appropriate.
Closing representation costs are typically paid by the party engaging the attorney, often the buyer or seller, as negotiated in the purchase agreement.
