Frequently Asked Questions – Real Estate Closings & Title Services

1. What does a real estate closing attorney do in Georgia?
We prepare, review, and explain all legal documents, oversee the signing, and ensure the property legally transfers to the buyer.

2. Do I need an attorney to close on a home in Georgia?
