FAQ
1. Can all parties in the real estate transaction use the same lawyer?
In a refinance transaction, the same lawyer can be used by the clients and the mortgage lender. Similarly, in a purchase transaction the buyer and the lender can use the same lawyer. However, the buyer and seller cannot.
2. Do we need to pay a retainer upfront?
It depends on the transaction. In real estate transactions, the fee for legal services will be paid directly from the mortgage advance or at the close of the transaction. For all will and estate services, there will be a retainer paid upfront, as detailed in the retainer agreement.
3. What documents can be signed virtually?
All meetings can be done virtually (i.e., via Zoom) and all real estate documents can be signed electronically. All wills and powers of attorney must be signed with wet-ink - whether done in person or printed, signed and scanned back from the comfort of your home!
4. How many days before the closing date do we need to retain your services?
I require at least 5-7 business days before your closing date to ensure all documents are signed and returned to the mortgage lender for review on-time. Exceptions can be made in emergency circumstances, but it may be subject to an additional fee.
