Negotiations can become heated, titles can be disputed and contracts can be broken. In fact, in an attempt to protect home buyers and sellers alike from these and other issues, the state of Massachusetts requires the presence of an attorney at real estate closings.
If you are buying a home in Massachusetts, having both a real estate agent and an attorney by your side will best protect your interests. The reasons are both practical and legal, as this article will discuss.
