Massachusetts Real Estate Attorney: What to Expect

Every Massachusetts real estate closing requires a licensed attorney — this is state law, not optional. The closing attorney conducts the title search, prepares the deed, and oversees the settlement. In most transactions, the buyer’s lender selects and pays for the closing attorney, who often provides dual representation to the buyer as well. Sellers typically retain their own attorney to review the Purchase and Sale Agreement and prepare the deed on their behalf.
