The mortgage company can select an attorney or title company and it will be someone that they are comfortable with. If a lot of mistakes were being made the mortgage company wouldn't be using them.

Everyone (lawyers, title companies, banks) has insurance for errors and omissions so if your concern is just about your mortgage then don't waste your money.

If you have other concerns about the property such as right of way or boundaries then you should pay a good real estate attorney. Don't use a business, divorce or criminal attorney because they may not have participated in a closing in recent years and you might know as much about real estate as they do.

Didn't Tadpole say he didn't have a mortgage. Therefore a closing is not a big deal. Most NH closing we have had, we have not even gone to. The lawyer just does it. All we need to do is sign the papers.


Randy Walker in Wolfeboro still has a special real estate division I am pretty sure. It is right next to the Yum Yum Shop in downtown Wolfeboro.
