From Accepted Offer to Closing: What Happens on the Legal File
Open the file with complete documents
Send the accepted agreement, schedules, amendments, and key dates promptly. Explain the intended owners, financing, and any unusual occupation or property arrangement. Early information lets the office discuss the retainer and identify the documents needed for the transaction.
Conditions and legal inquiries
Condition dates and completion dates serve different purposes. While you arrange the investigations contemplated by the agreement, the legal work may include title inquiries and review of relevant documents. Tell us about new notices, amendments, or concerns so they can be considered in context.
Prepare financing, insurance, and signing
The lender must provide the necessary instructions and funding information. You may need to arrange insurance and supply identification or other documents. The office explains the closing papers and relevant figures once the information is available; advise us promptly of a change in lender or ownership.
Complete registration and reporting
Closing involves coordinating documents, funds, and the transfer or mortgage registration. The precise sequence depends on the transaction. After completion, retain your reporting documents and insurance information. Contact Maki Law if you need clarification about an outstanding document or the work included in the retainer.
