You should always allow an attorney to examine any legally binding document, prior to placing your signature on it. This is because your signature indicates that you are now accountable to a legal contract that you must honor. Provide yourself with a safeguard!

An attorney will serve several purposes when you are purchasing a home:

* Provide suggestions about the title documents and the most beneficial method for holding the property's title.

* Go over the home purchase contract with you to ensure that you thoroughly grasp the contents.

* Examine the insurance liability, mortgage terms, and taxes. The failure of many home buyers to employ the services of a real estate attorney, may be an underlying cause of the present foreclosure epidemic in the U.S., as these unrepresented individuals often made unwise choices that led to detrimental hybrid mortgage agreements.

* Confirm that the title insurance is in order.

* Be present at the closing to look over any legal documents that will require your signature.

The benefit of a lawyer's experience and knowledge of what to look for, will be especially useful when you are having a home custom built. There will be zoning laws, building material arrangements, and various deadlines associated with the contract for a home to be constructed, that will make this a complicated process.

An attorney will provide a number of services for the sale of your home:

* Ensure that you are protected by a thorough sales contract that includes all necessary details.

There are many local, state, and federal laws that apply to the purchase and sale of property, and a real estate attorney will be very familiar with these. There are also other circumstances relating to property, that a real estate attorney can assist you with. An attorney can provide advice in the event that a disagreement erupts over property lines, with an adjoining neighbor, and they are also well versed in matters pertaining to foreclosure, should you find yourself faced with such a situation.

Real estate transactions are likely to be the most pivotal financial dealings that you will ever encounter.  Wouldn't you feel more confident knowing that you have a real estate attorney representing you and your best interests, before you sign on the dotted line?
