REAL ESTATE LAW, is transactional in nature.  Our real property law has its roots in English Common Law.  Many find it complex and boring and full of legalize, but it is a very positive area of law.  It focuses on the basic needs of people for housing, shelter and an environment to feel safe in secure in a computerized industrial society.  The terms used in real estate transactions confuse many people.  Here is a list of common terms and their definitions.

At a closing people are asked to sign numerous legal papers required by Federal Agencies, Banks, Lenders, Title Agents, Mortgage Brokers.  Signatures are witnessed and/or notarized. 

It is the job of the closing attorney to work with others to make this event seem simple and have it take place in a professional relaxing environment.  However, there is much work that takes place before and after the closing.
