Frequently Asked Questions
What Does a Vermont Real Estate Attorney Do?
A Vermont real estate attorney helps buyers, sellers, lenders, and property owners with the legal aspects of real estate transactions. At Peet Law Group, we handle residential and commercial real estate closings, title searches, title insurance, deed preparation, purchase and sale agreement review and easements for clients throughout the State. In Vermont, real estate closings are typically handled by attorneys rather than title companies alone. A Vermont real estate lawyer ensures that title is clear, documents are properly drafted, funds are correctly disbursed, and your ownership rights are protected.
Do I Need a Real Estate Attorney for a Vermont Closing?
In most Vermont real estate transactions, an attorney is involved in the closing process. Lenders generally require a Vermont real estate attorney to conduct the title search, issue title insurance, prepare closing documents, and oversee the transfer of funds. Even in cash transactions, having an experienced Vermont real estate attorney protects you from title defects, boundary issues, liens, or drafting errors that could create long-term problems.
