Do you recommend I get an attorney

[Philip LaRoche]

Hello everyone.

I have successfully purchased homes in the past, however, I have never used an attorney to complete those purchases. I am now looking at a short sale property  (as is deal) and I feel I have  a good understanding of the process, timeframes and so on, however, my main concern sits with the title and the title companies ability to find all liens and obligations against the property.  I am ok with the contract and my obligations outlined in the contract so an attorney would not be of assistance in negotiating a contract in my favor. Am I missing other items that the attorney would assist me with? 

Do you recommend an attorney to aid me? If so in what regards? I do appreciate your comments and advice.

Kind regards

Phil
