Do I need an attorney to create a house purchase contract?
|
|
This varies depending on state law and local custom. In some states, such as California, attorneys are not typically involved in residential property sales, and an escrow or title company handles the entire closing process. In many other states, particularly in the eastern part of the country, attorneys (for both buyer and seller) have a more active role in all parts of the house transaction, and handle all the details of offer contracts and house closings. Check with your state department of real estate or your real estate broker for advice.
