Real Estate
Real estate transactions entail many legally significant issues, involving buyers, sellers, real estate agents, title insurance companies, lenders, appraisers, surveyors, home inspectors, termite companies and more.
More often than not, the interests of the various parties involved in a real estate transaction are not in line, which can lead to conflicts.
Please be aware that under Virginia Law, title companies, also known as “lay settlement companies,” may only provide services of a clerical or ministerial nature. Title companies may not express any opinion as to the legal consequences of any of the documents its customers sign at closing.
Only an attorney may prepare legal documents for another party, and only an attorney can advise the parties of a real estate transaction on the legal implications of the many documents presented at closing, such as the deed, promissory note and deed of trust.
