How the firm can help
The attorney can examine the agreement in light of the transaction’s stage and your objectives. The review can identify questions about timing, conditions, notices, and allocation of risk. The engagement will define the legal work involved and whether other professionals need to address related issues.
Preparing for a consultation
Tell the office whether the agreement has been signed and identify any approaching date. Keep the contract, addenda, disclosures, notices, and relevant correspondence available for review. State whether you are buying, selling, or addressing a dispute so the initial discussion can focus on your needs.
Frequently asked questions
When should a contract be reviewed?
Before signing whenever possible. Once an agreement is executed, rights and deadlines may already be fixed.
What documents are useful?
The proposed contract, addenda, disclosures, inspection materials, title information, and relevant correspondence may be requested.
Are title services included?
Only if the written engagement says so. Contract advice and title or closing services can be separate.
