Real Estate Transactions
In some areas a closing is called a "settlement". This is the process of completing a real estate transaction during which deeds, mortgages, leases and other required instruments are signed. They are then delivered and an accounting between the parties is made. Finally, the money is disbursed and the documents are recorded.
The Title Agency offers a full range of real estate legal services, including land contracts, which are becoming an extremely popular way to sell residential property in today’s difficult lending market. We prepare easements and other real estate documents, estate planning documents and probate administration, purchase agreements, contracts, leases and other business documents.
