Do I need a closing attorney?
I've bought two properties in my life and next month will close on my third. Both times I've had a lawyer. To be fully honest, I'm not sure what they did with respect to closing, and if they were actually necessary. Or maybe I just don't remember.
What is the lawyer's role in closing? Do I need one?
PS -- I'm not asking in an effort to cut cost ... just genuinely curious b/c I don't remember what they actually did for me ...
