Do I need a lawyer to buy or sell a house? Whether it's your first home or your fifth, the purchase of your home is one of the biggest and most important investments you can make. As a seller, you are responsible for providing a valid deed, loan pay-off statements, a survey, good title, and series of other documents that the buyers are expecting at closing. In some cases you must provide homeowner association materials. Your lawyer will handle all these matters for you before the closing, so that when the day comes to sell your house, all you will have to do is sit down and sign the papers.
For the purchaser, having a lawyer is vital. The attorney will review the status of title to make sure you are getting a valid deed. The lawyer will also insure you are receiving all the credits you are entitled to on the closing statement. If there are problems noted by your home inspector, your lawyer will negotiate the terms of correcting any problems for you.
