I asked the question to a local lawyer during the free consultation before you hire the attorney and found out that nothing survives closing of title. It was so nice to close for next to nothing as we are in the habit of paying big bucks for NJ closings. I had my NJ lawyer look at our contract and he said it looked good as it did to me so I went ahead and closed at the Title Company.
I will never ever do it again because paying for a lawyer, a good one helps me sleep. I did kick the subject around on TOTV and the stature of people who went through many closing lawyerless was staggering. Never again for us. Lawyer, Survey, no skimping.
What happened to these people is terrible. The repair job on the person with the driveway problem is perfect but unnecessary.
