What an attorney does in an Arizona sale
A real estate attorney is a lawyer focused on property transactions: contracts, deeds, disputes, financing arrangements, and the places where a sale touches other areas of law like estates or divorce. Unlike some states, Arizona does not use attorneys to close ordinary home sales; title and escrow companies handle closings here.
