Legal Support Built Around Your Transaction.
Each transaction has its own agreement, deadlines, financing and title considerations. We explain the legal steps and coordinate the closing work within the scope of the firm’s retainer.
Selling a Home
We prepare for closing by reviewing title and the agreement, responding to appropriate requisitions, coordinating mortgage payouts and delivering the closing documents and funds.
Refinancing a Property
We work through the lender’s legal instructions, title and identity requirements, registration, existing debt payouts and the release of available funds, subject to the transaction terms.

The Best Time to Address a Closing Issue Is Before It Becomes Urgent.
Whenever possible, contact the firm before signing an Agreement of Purchase and Sale or as soon as the agreement becomes firm. Lawyer review cannot replace protective conditions that were not included in a signed agreement.
Early instructions also help with lender coordination, title searches, identification requirements, document signing and the movement of closing funds.
- Property address and municipality
- Purchase, sale or refinance
- Expected closing date and any urgent deadlines
- Signed agreement and amendments, when available
- Names of all buyers, sellers, borrowers or registered owners
- Lender or mortgage-broker information, when financing is involved
The closing process
From the Agreement to Final Reporting.
The exact work varies by transaction. These are the usual stages of a residential real estate file.
Open the file
We collect the agreement, contact details, identification and transaction information, then confirm the scope of the retainer.
Review and prepare
We complete the legal work applicable to the file, which may include title, agreement, lender and closing-document requirements.
Sign and fund
We explain the signing and funds required, complete identity steps and coordinate with the other parties involved in closing.
Close and report
After the transaction is completed, we provide the final documents and reporting appropriate to the file.
Closing depends on the agreement, financing, third parties and the other side’s performance. No lawyer can guarantee that a transaction will close on a particular date or on particular terms.
Common closing issues
Careful Preparation Helps Keep Surprises Manageable.
A legal issue does not always prevent closing, but it may require prompt instructions, documents, funds or coordination with the lender, realtor, insurer or the other side.
- Financing conditions, lender delays or a shortfall in required closing funds
- Title issues, old mortgages, liens, easements or restrictions
- Differences between the agreement, property information and client expectations
- Property-tax, utility, rental or other statement-of-adjustment questions
- Identity, signing, fraud-prevention or source-of-funds requirements
- Last-minute changes to parties, ownership, closing dates or mortgage instructions
Real estate questions
Know What to Ask Before Closing Day.
General answers can help you prepare, but your agreement and transaction documents determine the legal work required.
When should I contact a real estate lawyer?
Ideally, obtain legal advice before signing an agreement. If an agreement is already signed, contact the firm as early as possible and provide the agreement, amendments, closing date and financing information.
What costs should I expect when buying a home?
Depending on the transaction, costs may include land transfer tax, legal fees, disbursements, title insurance, registration charges, adjustments and lender-related amounts. A complete estimate requires the property and transaction details.
What does title insurance do?
Title insurance may protect an owner or lender against certain covered title and property-related risks, subject to the policy’s terms, exclusions and limits. It does not replace every search, inspection or form of due diligence.
Can the same lawyer act for both buyer and seller?
Acting for more than one party depends on the circumstances, conflicts of interest and applicable professional rules. The firm must assess the proposed representation before agreeing to act.
Can signing be completed remotely?
Signing arrangements depend on the transaction, lender instructions, identity-verification requirements and the documents involved. Contact the firm to discuss what is appropriate for your file.
Does sending documents make Mand Daley Law my lawyer?
No. A lawyer-client relationship begins only after the firm completes its review, confirms the engagement and the required retainer arrangements are completed.
