Do I really need an attorney for my closing?

In North Carolina, the real estate attorney handles both the title examination of the property and the closing. North Carolina retains the approved attorney system for residential and commercial real estate closings in our state. Under this system, North Carolina title companies issue title insurance policies based upon the report and findings of a North Carolina approved attorney after a title examination conducted by that attorney. Typically, buyers meet for closing in the offices of the closing attorney, and after all documents required for closing are signed, escrow is usually closed immediately, documents are recorded and funds are disbursed.

Our attorneys can also:

• offer guidance and counsel regarding acquisition, development, financing, leasing and sale of real property
• prepare powers of attorney, deeds and related documents at your request
• review purchase and sales contracts for buyers and sellers
• examine real estate titles, perform title searches and obtain title insurance
