A real estate lawyer can help address any problems that may arise when attempting to close a deal. For example, it’s important for a homeowner to obtain flood, fire and storm insurance, and it’s typically required (depending on location) for a homeowner to present proof of insurance when closing a deal. A lawyer can help you make sure all of this is in order before attending the closing. A real estate lawyer can also help with title insurance, which protects you against issues with the title of the property.
