North Texas Title Insurance & Real Estate Closing Attorney
End-to-End Closings with Legal Oversight
When you need Allen title insurance and a real estate closing attorney, you want one coordinated team. Aaron C. Lee Law Firm guides buyers, sellers, investors, and lenders across Allen, Plano, McKinney, Frisco, Fairview, Lucas, and Parker-aligning the contract, title work, and "funding-ready" logistics so closing day stays on schedule.
What Title Insurance Is; and Why It Matters
Title insurance protects owners and lenders from hidden title defects such as unreleased liens, recording errors, or undisclosed heirs. In Texas, closings typically run through a title company; our role is to add legal review so issues are caught and fixed early. With a clear title commitment and clean vesting, you take ownership with confidence.
What We Handle for Title & Closings
Title Insurance Services
Comprehensive title search and examination to uncover liens, easements, and prior claims, followed by issuing owner’s and lender’s policies through our partnership with Alamo Title. We review commitments, resolve defects, and ensure you take title free and clear.
Residential Real Estate Closings
Coordination from contract to keys for homebuyers and sellers in Allen and across Collin County. We manage settlement statements, escrow instructions, and closing day details so your home purchase or sale is accurate, timely, and stress-free.
Our Closing Process, Step by Step
We translate the process into plain English: title search and commitment, curative actions, escrow coordination, signing, and funding. Our team reviews the commitment exceptions, surveys, payoff statements, and closing disclosures; we coordinate with lenders and agents so signatures and wires land on time. If something pops up late-survey matters, HOA estoppels, or payoff discrepancies-we resolve it quickly.
Residential vs. Commercial Closings
Residential transactions (often using TREC forms) move fast and demand clear communication about option periods, appraisal gaps, and repairs. Commercial deals require deeper diligence-LOIs, purchase agreements, lease abstracts, surveys, and environmental review-plus negotiated representations and post-closing obligations. Aaron C. Lee Law Firm handles both with timelines tailored to your lender and deal size.
A Trusted Working Relationship with Alamo Title
Our partnership with Alamo Title means efficient commitments, responsive curative steps, and accurate settlement statements-without passing you back and forth. One coordinated team, one target date, fewer surprises. Ask us about remote online notarization or split signings if you're traveling or out of state.
FAQs:
Closings & Title in North Texas
How much are title insurance premiums in Texas?
Premiums are promulgated by the State of Texas, so the base price is the same regardless of title company. Costs vary by purchase price and endorsements. We'll review your quote, explain endorsements (like survey coverage), and confirm you're not paying for something you don't need.
Who chooses the title company-the buyer or seller?
In Collin County, either side can propose a title company and negotiate who pays the owner's policy. Custom and leverage matter; we'll advise based on your contract and market conditions in Allen, Plano, McKinney, and Frisco. The goal is timely commitments and reliable communication.
What should I bring on closing day?
Bring a government-issued photo ID and any required funds per your closing disclosure (wire preferred; confirm instructions by phone with the title office). If you're selling, bring keys, remotes, and any payoff information. We'll confirm the checklist and timing so your signing is smooth.
Can we close remotely?
Yes-Texas allows remote online notarization for many transactions, and mobile notaries are an option. If your lender or title office has specific requirements, we'll coordinate so your documents and identity verification meet their standards. Remote closings are common for investors and relocating families.
What happens if the title search reveals a problem?
Common issues include old liens, name mismatches, or HOA assessments. We work with the title examiner to track releases, obtain affidavits, or restructure exceptions so the commitment can be cleared. You'll know the plan and timeline before you schedule signing.
