FAQs
I’m selling my home. Do I have to attend the closing?
No. You’re free to attend if you like, but most sellers nowadays do not attend closing given the relatively few documents a seller has to sign. I typically will meet with a seller client in advance of closing to sign the deed and a power of attorney authorizing me to sign the closing documents on their behalf.
Does anyone actually read all of these [closing] documents?
Buyers typically don’t take the time to read through all the documents word for word, which is understandable given the volume of documents to be signed on a transaction with a mortgage. It is of course important for the Buyer to understand what they’re signing, given the size of the investment in a new home and the various rights and obligations described in the closing documents. An experienced closing attorney can help the Buyer focus on the more salient terms in the documents in order for the closing to be completed in a timely and efficient manner
