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.
Complete guide: Massachusetts Real Estate Attorney — What Every Buyer and Seller Needs to Know — covering who the attorney represents, what they do, costs ($900-$1,500 for closing), and when you should hire your own independent attorney.
