Closings

Closing is a simple word for a complex process – a process that we are extremely familiar with. We make sure your closing proceedings go as smoothly as possible and that all problems are kept to a minimum. At the closing, we will explain the numerous loan and closing documents signed by buyer and seller, collect and distributes all funds, and ensure your closing is properly conducted. After the closing, we process the loan funding, perform a title rundown to ensure there are no changes in the title, records the deed, mortgage and other recordable instruments.

Title Insurance

We are proud agents for Old Republic National Title Insurance Company. We are currently ranked in the Top Ten – Circle of Excellence in South Carolina. We work closely with our title insurance attorneys to make sure our clients and our lending partners are properly protected from any potential title issues. Our closing attorney is happy to discuss with each client the advantages a title insurance policy can provide.

Deed Preparation

In some cases, a title examination and full closing are not necessary. McLaurin Law is happy to assist clients with deed transfers that do not require a full closing (for example, changing title from tenants in common to joint tenants with rights of survivorship, conveyances to an entity such as a trust or an LLC, life estate conveyances, etc.).

Real Estate Litigation

McLaurin Law, LLC has two litigation attorneys ready to work with our closing attorneys for real estate issues that could potentially lead to litigation. Each situation is reviewed on a case by case basis.
