The closing attorney’s primary function is to ensure that clear title to the property is being transferred. This involves title research wherein the attorney will examine probate records, surveys, plats, and other legal documents. If there are no defects in the chain of title, the attorney will issue a title insurance policy, guaranteeing a proper title transfer. This "Lender’s Policy," or "Mortgagee Policy", is required by the mortgage lender. An owner’s policy can be purchased simultaneously at closing, which will protect your interest in the property. Conversely, if defects in the title exist, your closing attorney will attempt to correct the errors, so that a good title can be transferred. Should problems develop during the title examination, the attorney will contact the involved parties as soon as possible, so as to avoid any delay in the scheduled closing date. The second function of the attorney is to make sure that you understand the closing transactions completely. Any questions regarding the closing documents can be referred to the attorney, or his closing staff.
