Document Preparation and Review
The Carpenter Law Firm is staffed by professionals and attorneys with over 40 years of collective experience in the mortgage industry. We have been on the front lines of the mortgage lending field—from opening up home equity lending in Texas, to the sub-prime mortgage catastrophe in 2007, to the development of Dodd-Frank, the Consumer Financial Protection Board and our very favorite: TRID.
The Texas Legislature had codified a statute that specifically addresses the Unauthorized Practice of Law. As a result of this law, attorneys in Texas must prepare or review any document that affects title to real property including warranty deeds, security instruments, releases of liens and other ancillary documents to Texas real estate transactions.
Our attorneys can help navigate the waters of real estate transactions. What initially appears as a simple transaction will often become extremely complicated. What if a seller failed to disclose that they inherited the property you would like to buy, and there are four separate heirs that have not agreed to sell the property? What if the sellers filed for divorce days before listing the property? We can handle contract revisions or negotiations to solve either issue. Perhaps you would like to hold title to your property in a trust? We can draft the deed to accomplish that. Our firm can prepare lien releases, powers of attorney, and all manner of specialized instruments at our clients’ request.
The Carpenter Law Firm takes pride in our streamlined, efficient document review process. Our clients submit their loan documents to us for review via a secure client portal. Upon receipt, we notify the client that we’ve received their file and assigned it to a document review specialist. Our goal is to provide turnaround times inside of 2 hours. We are available to accommodate after hours review requests including weekend and holiday coverage as requested by our clients. Our attorneys are available to answer client questions, contact title companies, and work as liaisons between clients and investors if an issue arises between closing and selling the loan to an investor on the secondary market.
