Why Real Estate Agents Should Consider a Fee Attorney for Title Closings


Contact us for more info

Let me let you know that I am an escrow officer, and as a fee attorney, I can handle the work involved in closing a real estate transaction with additional benefits. Read on for more info on how The J.M. Dickerson Law Firm can help you with your next real estate closing or transaction.

A Fee Attorney Can Prepare Documents In-House

Real estate agents know very well that closings can be delayed because the lender or outsourced document preparation firm for the title agency did not prepare an important document in advance. It can be unfortunate, but more often than not, this document is the deed itself, which is sometimes prepared by the lender’s attorney and sometimes by the doc prep firm on retainer by the title agency. A delay at the closing table can cause sellers and buyers to sit at the closing table for what seems like hours, nervously waiting for something good to happen to get the closing back on track. Instead, rely on The J.M. Dickerson Law firm where our team can save everyone precious time with document preparation that is done in-house and where all documents are carefully accounted for ahead of time.

A Fee Attorney Can Provide Legal Advice

Escrow officers who don’t work closely with a fee attorney’s office might not have all of the right answers when a transaction becomes complex, legally speaking. Because I am also an escrow officer, my clients have the option of consulting directly with me and my team to receive guidance on execution and acceptance of powers of attorney, affidavits of heirship, and other vehicles for closing transactions in which parties on title are deceased or unavailable. You can trust The J.M. Dickerson Law Firm for reliable legal advice on how to resolve even the most complicated issues that arise. Other common complications include active probates, boundary line disputes, and unrecorded easements and we have got you covered.


Fee Attorneys Can Represent a Party,

if Necessary


There can be situations that require a buyer or seller to hire an attorney to represent them in a limited capacity, in addition to representation by a real estate agent. When that type of situation occurs, it is better to get a fee attorney involved, provided there is no conflict and all parties agree to the limited representation. This option is can be less expensive than  finding an outside attorney, and limits the number of people whose involvement in the transaction is necessary.


Remember me, Attorney Joseph Michael Dickerson, for your title closings and fee attorney needs. Real estate agents, I am ready to help to negotiate or solve problems for you and your clients.


How does it work?

If you require a customized document, closing with a fee attorney gives you assurance that an experienced attorney is on staff to draft whatever is required. These documents are available immediately and without fuss, since no outside doc prep firm needs to be contacted.


If a lender’s document package comes in right before closing but missing a deed, the fee attorney can draft it immediately with no wait and no hassle. This means happy buyers and sellers – and more referral goodwill for the realtor! Plus, getting custom documents drafted is much easier when you close with a fee attorney rather than simply a title agency.

Dickerson Law Firm, is an authorized closing office for Texas Lone Star Title.
