Do I need an attorney?

In Massachusetts, you need an attorney to purchase a home because state law requires an attorney to be present at closing to handle title certification and other legal aspects of the transaction, ensuring a clean title and lawful transfer of property. Attorneys review contracts for your protection, conduct title searches to uncover any claims against the property, guide you through complex closing procedures, and protect your financial interests by ensuring all necessary disclosures are met and no hidden liabilities exist.
