In some states title companies are allowed to perform closings and some states only attorneys. I think that’s what it means.

I have heard and read Connecticut described as an “attorney state” for real estate transactions. What is it and how does it affect “Subject To” deals?
Thanks,
Eddy

Ben in New Jersey gets the prize although he’s an attorney but didn’t sound really sure of his answer. My attorney tells me that is the correct answer. However, many states allow both an Attorney or a Title Company (Maryland is one).
And who says Joe doesn’t have a sense of humor!!! ROTFLMAO…Joe you the man!

Not sure what your attorney states, but mine says something like, “please pay Sandy on your way out of the office.”
