  • Do I need a lawyer for a home closing in Louisiana?

    Having a real estate closing lawyer ensures your contract and title issues are handled correctly, especially if questions arise about successions, liens, or property boundaries.

  • What is a title examination?

    It’s a review of public records to confirm ownership and find issues such as unpaid mortgages, judgments, or servitudes that must be resolved before closing.

  • How do you fix a title issue before closing?

    Depending on the issue, we may record releases, complete succession documents, obtain affidavits of heirship, or correct legal descriptions—then update the title commitment.

  • Do I need title insurance?

    Yes. Title insurance protects against covered title defects; we issue policies as an agent of First American Title.
