A title issue does not necessarily prevent a closing from occurring. Many title problems can be resolved through corrective documents, affidavits, lien releases, or additional investigation.
An experienced real estate attorney like Attorney Geoffrey T. Einhorn can identify the issue, explain its significance, and work toward a resolution so the transaction can move forward.
Title insurance protects against certain title defects that may not be discovered before closing. Unlike other forms of insurance, it protects against covered problems that may already exist but are unknown at the time of purchase.
The Law Offices of Geoffrey T. Einhorn, LLC strongly recommends that buyers obtain an owner's title insurance policy. For a relatively small one-time cost, it can provide valuable protection for one of the largest investments most people will ever make.
A title search is a review of public land records to confirm ownership of the property and identify any issues affecting title.
The search may reveal mortgages, liens, unpaid taxes, easements, or other matters that should be addressed before closing.
Attorney fees are typically discussed and agreed upon at the beginning of the transaction. In most residential closings, legal fees appear on the closing statement and are paid at closing.
We are happy to discuss anticipated fees and closing costs so there are no surprises.
A real estate transaction is often one of the largest financial transactions a person will make. An attorney like Attorney Geoffrey T. Einhorn can help review documents, identify potential issues, and protect your interests throughout the process.
Whether you are buying, selling, refinancing, or transferring property, experienced legal guidance can help the transaction proceed smoothly.
