Did You Know? Georgia Requires Attorneys for Real Estate Closings!

Navigating the real estate market in Georgia comes with a unique requirement: involving a licensed attorney for every closing. This isn’t just a state law—it’s a safeguard for your financial interests, ensuring every transaction is accurate, compliant, and secure.

Georgia’s Attorney Closing Requirement

In Georgia, attorneys are not only essential for legal oversight but also represent the flow of funds throughout the transaction. They manage the escrow account, ensuring that earnest money, closing costs, and loan funds are handled correctly and securely. This critical role protects both buyers and sellers, ensuring the financial aspects of the deal proceed smoothly and legally.

The Attorney’s Role in Your Transaction

1. Legal Document Accuracy: Attorneys draft and review purchase agreements, disclosures, and addendums, ensuring every document meets legal standards.
2. Title Verification: They conduct thorough title searches to identify and resolve potential issues, such as liens or boundary disputes, before closing.
3. Compliance with Georgia Law: From earnest money to closing procedures, attorneys ensure every step aligns with state regulations.
4. Fund Management: Attorneys oversee all financial transactions, safeguarding your funds and ensuring timely disbursements.

Why This Matters

Working with an attorney at closing provides:

• Peace of Mind: Protecting your investment with expert legal oversight.
