Why Real Estate Agents Should Consider a Fee Attorney for Title Closings

Let me tell you that I am an escrow officer, and as a fee attorney, can handle the work involved in closing a real estate transaction with additional benefits. Read on for more info on how The J.M. Dickerson Law Firm can help you with your next real estate closing or transaction.

A Fee Attorney Can Prepare Documents In-House

A holdup at the closing table can cause sellers and buyers to sit at the closing table for what seems like hours, nervously waiting for something good to happen to speed up the closing. Real estate agents know from experience that closings can be held up because the lender or outsourced doc prep firm for the title agency did not prepare an important document in advance. Most often, this document is the deed itself, which is sometimes prepared by the lender’s attorney and sometimes by the doc prep firm on retainer by the title agency.

Instead, rely on The J.M. Dickerson Law firm where my team can save everyone precious time with document preparation that is done in-house and where all documents are carefully accounted for ahead of time.

A Fee Attorney Can Provide Legal Advice

Escrow officers who don’t work within the structure of a fee attorney’s office might not have all of the right answers when a transaction turns complicated. As a fee attorney, I can give my clients the option of consulting directly with me and provide them guidance on execution and acceptance of powers of attorney, affidavits of heirship, and other vehicles for closing transactions in which parties on title are deceased or unavailable.

You can trust me and my team to resolve even the most complicated issues that arise. Other common complications include active probates, boundary line disputes, and unrecorded easements and we have got you covered.

Fee Attorneys Can Represent a Party if Necessary

Sometimes there can be issues that require a buyer or seller to hire an attorney to represent them in a limited capacity. This is in addition to representation by a realtor. When this happens, it is better to reach out to a fee attorney to get involved, as long as there is no conflict and all parties agree to the limited representation.

This option can be less expensive than your client finding an outside attorney, and limits the number of people whose involvement in the transaction is necessary.

Contact me, Attorney Joseph Michael Dickerson. I am on your side, ready to help to negotiate or solve problems on your client’s behalf.

TITLE CLOSINGS MADE EASY WITH JMD

“Amazing service and a great experience overall.”

Amanda S. / New Braunfels, Texas

How does it work?

If you need a customized document, closing with a fee attorney gives you assurance that an experienced attorney is on staff to draft whatever is required. These documents are available immediately and without fuss, since no outside doc prep firm needs to be contacted.

If a lender’s document package comes in right before closing but missing a deed, the fee attorney can draft it immediately with no wait and no hassle. This means happy buyers and sellers – and more referral goodwill for the realtor! Plus, getting custom documents drafted is much easier when you close with a fee attorney rather than simply a title agency.

The benefits to using a fee attorney’s office for your next closing are numerous, and our office is ready to help you in any way possible. The J.M. Dickerson Law Firm, is an authorized closing office for Texas Lone Star Title. Attorney Dickerson also works with many realtors to facilitate smooth closings of their residential and commercial transactions.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Even though my legal matter wasn’t something they handle, they took the time to point me in the right direction and referred me to someone who could help. That alone says a lot about their professionalism and integrity. I’ll definitely be coming back to them for my own estate planning. Thank you again, Miranda for your kind assistance!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an outstanding experience working with The JM Dickerson Law Firm. They made what I thought would be a complicated and uncomfortable process feel straightforward and manageable. I was sold when I learned Mike has over 30 years of experience, he truly knows estate planning inside and out. Everyone on the team took the time to explain every detail of my will and trust, and I never felt rushed. Their attention to detail and patience really stood out. I now have peace of mind knowing everything is in order for my family. I also really enjoyed working with Miranda, her personal attention to each client really sets this firm apart. She was responsive, kind, and made sure we felt supported throughout the entire process. Highly recommend this team to anyone looking for estate planning services!
