The problem you have is making sure you have clear title to the property. Not sure that an attorney would do that. He would probably only review the papers you are signing so if you hire one make sure the attorney is verifying the title.
To be sure about the title then you would want title insurance. The title company will verify the chain of titles to the property and also insure you if they make a mistake.
Make sure that your agreement of sale lets you cancel if you find x $'s in repairs, title is bad etc. The attorney would help in this area.
