You arent required to have an attorney for a real estate closing in Illinois, but having one is a good idea. An experienced attorney will know how to spot and resolve any potential legal issues. Your lawyer will advocate for your interests and prevent you from signing a contract that doesnt meet your needs.
Both buyers and sellers pay closing costs, but usually, the homebuyer is responsible for most of them. As a homebuyer, you are encouraged to negotiate with the seller to help cover closing costs, but theres no guarantee they will agree.
You may pay a real estate attorney an hourly fee ranging from $150 to $500 or more per hour. Or they may charge a flat fee, such as $750 or $1,500 for closing, or a lower fee for a specific task, such as reviewing a contract. Some also charge an up-front retainer fee.
There is no requirement that you have an attorney present but utilizing an attorney could be helpful for a document and deed review and to better understand the closing process.
By federal law, the lender must give a five-page closing disclosure form to the borrower three days before closing. This allows them to review it and make certain that nothing has changed substantially, from the loan estimate they received when they applied for the mortgage.
