Things Clients Should Know - No. 3
In South Carolina, the law requires that a licensed attorney conduct the closing of the purchase or refinance of real estate and the law also provides that the buyer or the borrower has the right to select the closing attorney. Do not let a lender tell you that you have to use an attorney from their "list." Do not let a seller or lender tell you that the closing can take place in their office without an attorney. They are either ignoring the law or selecting their attorney for you and you will probably pay for it at the closing. Make your own decision to hire a real estate attorney whom you trust to protect your interest and handle the closing in a skilled and competent manner. If you are purchasing or refinancing real estate in the greater Charleston, South Carolina area, one of our experienced attorneys would be happy to handle the closing for you.
