Frequently Asked Questions –
CT Real Estate
• What is the role of a lawyer in a real estate closing?
A lawyer ensures all legal aspects are addressed, reviews contracts, clears title issues, handles financial transactions, and ensures compliance with Connecticut real estate laws.
• How long does the real estate closing process take?
A typical closing can take 30–60 days, depending on factors like financing, title searches, and necessary inspections.
• Do I need title insurance in Connecticut?
Title insurance protects against potential title defects or liens and is highly recommended. Your attorney can review the title and advise on this.
• What happens at the closing?
At closing, both parties sign the final documents, the buyer pays the purchase price, and ownership transfers. The attorney oversees these steps and files the deed with the county.
• Are real estate closing costs tax-deductible?
Generally, closing costs like title insurance, attorney fees, and recording fees are not tax-deductible, though mortgage interest and property taxes may be.
• What is an escrow account, and do I need one?
An escrow account holds funds for property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, or other required expenses. Your mortgage lender may require one to ensure these payments are made on time.
• What should I do if the property has title issues?
Your attorney will help resolve title issues before closing. If issues cannot be cleared, they can advise on whether to proceed or negotiate further.
• Can I close on a property if I’m out of state?
Yes, many closings can be handled remotely, with documents signed electronically or via power of attorney if you can’t attend in person.
