In order to shut your escrow, it might be essential for your attorney to transmit (or receive) documents to individuals living elsewhere. This can be simpler than getting them come completely to their office to sign. The documents are usually sent via Federal Express, UPS Blue or Red Label, DHL, or some similar service.
The fees of these services are usually around $15 or $20 per letter; however, for companies who send letters regularly the express charges are deeply discounted. In my experience, attorneys often send all documents in this manner. One reason is that the sender receives in the recipient, through the courier service, a signed notice specifying the time and date the package was delivered along with a signature in the individual who received it.
One more reason that attorneys like the couriers is that their service is nearly always faster than common snail mail. You can expect a reasonably hefty express letter fee if your attorney breaks their settlement costs down. However, you need to pay only by the letter, and when it's more than $25 each, you might want to question it.
Just like closing documents, property owner documents are another area where expert evaluation is, otherwise essential, then certainly highly desirable. If you are investing in a common ownership kind of property (condominium, townhouse, co-op), you will see a variety of documents that you should take a look at including: conditions, covenants, and restrictions (CCRs), bylaws, rules, lawsuits pending, home owners' organizing documents, and so forth.
You'll most likely get a packet of of those. But then, where do you turn with that packet? If you don't are extremely knowledgeable in the field, you might easily miss an issue or find fault with something that's actually normal. Agood attorney can easily review these documents and provide you with a viewpoint.
Unless there is a serious problem, it shouldn't go ahead and take attorney more than a couple of hours to review the documents. The house owners' document check fee may be the fee that the attorney charges for looking them over. Usually it's depending on per hour rate, or it's covered in the predetermined fee being charge for the entire closing.
