if you can read and if you are not afraid to ask questions then you don't need an arrorney.
I always ask for a business card from everybody at the closing who represents the seller. If they do not have a business card I get their full name, company and what is their purpose of being there. Before I sign I always ask the sellers attoney or who ever is legally representing the seller....is there any reason that I should not sign this document? Now we all know they would not advise anybody to sign something that should not be signed.....right?
If I am the buyer the closing process goes at the pace of my need to read and ask questions. What usually happens they immediately spot the pattern and explain more fully and advise there is no reason not to sign....then I read it and if satisfied...I sign.
Save the attorney fees....ask for an advanced copy of all documents to be signed at the closing. They are NEVER all done and available, but a good number are. Read what they put in front of you. Ask what you do not understand.
