What does a real estate closing attorney do?

It begins with a request from your lender. A title examination follows with review for a period of at least 40 years to look for clouds on title (such as judgments, unreleased deeds of trust, out conveyances, easements, etc.), then taxes and fees are put together in a closing disclosure, and a closing at the attorney's office follows.  After closing, the attorney pays all fees and costs due, any deeds of trust are paid off, and the deed recorded.Your closing attorney is your choice as a buyer.  Choose wisely.
