Real Estate Attorney for Massachusetts closings.

Attorney-led closings for Massachusetts buyers and sellers. Our offices are in Connecticut, and we close throughout Massachusetts.

How Massachusetts attorney closings work.

In Massachusetts, case law generally calls for an attorney to take part in a real estate closing, so, as in Connecticut, an attorney is involved in essentially every transaction. Which attorney that is makes a difference.

The norm

Attorney conveyancing

Title examination, document preparation, and recording typically run through an attorney.

The catch

Often the lender's

When there's a mortgage, the closing attorney is often the lender's: looking out for the lender's interests, not necessarily yours.

The fix

Your own counsel

We review the deal specifically for you, the way we do across the border.
