Request Legal Georgia Real Estate Closings Forms For Free

Georgia law requires a licensed attorney to close all real estate transactions. In other states, the title company handles the closing and matters pertaining to escrow. But in Georgia, an attorney does it.

We are pleased to announce that, as of today, remote closings through audio-visual electronic means are temporarily permissible in Georgia. This development has been made possible through the concerted and coordinate effort of leaders in the real estate industry, the Georgia Bar, and the governor.

Anyone whose name appears on the loan or the title to the property must be present at closing or be represented by a power of attorney approved by us and your lender.

In the State of Georgia a Real Estate Closing (which is the entire process by which title to the property is transferred) must be conducted by a licensed Georgia attorney.

There is usually just one attorney involved in the closing, and in Georgia, the buyer typically chooses their own attorneys. If it is a cash purchase, you will typically have the right to pick the closing attorneys. However, the buyer's lender will choose the attorney when you are funding a purchase using a mortgage.
