Town Title offers full closing services to attorneys, whether they place their client’s title order with Town or not. As the buyer’s attorney, you will maintain control of the file and contact your clients. In addition to the traditional services associated with loan and closing settlements, Town’s closing services include: Satisfaction of Title Requirements; review of the title binder and obtaining the payoff statements of the seller’s mortgage(s); working with the seller’s attorney to omit other Schedule B, Section 1 requirements; preparing and filing the Notices of Settlement; and ordering the rundown.
Closing Preparations
Prior to the closing, Town will act as the “settlement agent” and issue the Closing Protection Letter to Town; receive and review the lender’s closing package; and prepare the closing package for closing. Town Title will prepare the HUD-1, obtain Bank approval, and provide copies of the HUD-1 to the closing attorneys in advance of the closing for review and client approval.
Town will also accept the loan proceeds into its trust account and confirm its receipt.
Closing Appearance
The closing will take place at a mutually agreed upon location, which is typically at the buyer’s attorney’s office. Experienced real estate attorneys or paralegals will appear at the closing as Town Title’s agents and go through the documentation with the buyers, answering any questions. Town Title trust checks or wire will be issued at closing to those in attendance, including the buyer’s attorney, seller’s attorney, filing fees realtors commissions, and seller’s net proceeds. As the Buyer’s attorney, you can either sit in on the closing or attend to other tasks.
After Closing
Town Title will also be responsible for post-closing matters such as making all post-closing disbursements, working to obtain mortgage discharges and the issuance of title policies. After the closing, a copy of the entire closing package will be made available to the attorney and the buyers. When policies are issued, the closing attorney and his/her client will receive copies together with copies of Town’s transmittal letters to the Bank and the client.
