Cohousing-L Mailing List: Closings by Title Companies

[Sherri Zann Rosenthal (76671.1561]

Buzz Burrell advocated having a title insurance co. do the closing for a land or
home purchase as a money saver. However, as a matter of state law, they are
sometimes prohibited from doing so. For example, in NC, an attorney must sign
off on the title search and certify it to the title ins. co. The upshot is that
you must hire an attorney to have a real estate closing in our state, and a
number of others.

Where we're gearing up to transplant the wax myrtles this weekend from the north
end of our meadow, which will be a utility easement soon, and we're praying to
the Planning Goddess that our new site/engineering/drainage plan is approved
tomorrow by the Design Review Board.
