In a recent study, it was revealed that different states in the United States have varying requirements for attorney involvement in real estate transactions. While the majority of states have straightforward closing processes, certain states along the East Coast mandate attorney participation in every real estate deal, regardless of the property’s value or type. This requirement can present obstacles for land investors, particularly when attorney fees surpass the property’s purchase price.

To assist investors in navigating these legal complexities, a real estate expert has curated an interactive map highlighting states where attorney involvement is mandatory during real estate closings. The map, derived from extensive research, offers valuable links for verification purposes. By outlining which states necessitate attorney presence and which allow title companies or escrow agents to handle the closing process, the map provides crucial insights for investors trying to secure deals in various states.
