Real Estate Closings

Real Estate Closing Attorneys in New York

Real estate closings mark the final and most crucial step in the process of buying or selling property. It is during this stage that legal ownership of the property is officially transferred, funds are exchanged, and all relevant documentation is signed. At Held & Hines LLP, our experienced real estate attorneys are there to ensure that your closing is handled efficiently, legally, and without unnecessary complications. Whether you are a buyer or seller, we protect your interests from start to finish.

What Happens at a Real Estate Closing?

A real estate closing is a formal event that brings together all parties involved in the transaction, including the buyer, seller, attorneys, and sometimes mortgage lenders or title company representatives. During the closing:

  • The buyer signs mortgage and loan documents
  • The seller signs over the deed and title
  • Funds are disbursed from the lender or buyer to the seller
  • The transaction is officially recorded with the appropriate county office

 

An attorney from Held & Hines LLP is always present to ensure that the legal transfer of property occurs smoothly and that title records, liens, prior conveyances, and mortgage payoffs are properly addressed.
