The contract sets the framework
The purchase agreement identifies the property, price, deposits, deadlines, and many of the parties’ responsibilities. It is the starting point for the work that follows.
Title documents address ownership
A title examination and related documents help identify the ownership interest being transferred and matters that may affect it. Title insurance is intended to address covered title risks under the issued policy.
Closing documents complete the transaction
The deed, settlement figures, lender documents when financing is involved, and supporting affidavits should align with the transaction. Ask for explanations of unfamiliar terms or unexpected figures.
