Hennen Law provides attorney-led closing and title services for residential, commercial and investment property sellers. When Hennen Law serves as closing and title agent, the legal, title and closing aspects of the transaction can be coordinated through one office, including the issuance of title insurance as a licensed title agent for First American Title Insurance Company.
Unlike a closing-only model, Hennen Law can also provide legal advice and prepare transaction-specific documents when issues arise during a transaction, including contract amendments, occupancy agreements, escrow agreements, easements, corrective instruments and seller-financing documents.
