Tips from the closing table

Know this before you start.

01

Locate the original will, letters testamentary, and death certificate early—they are always requested.

02

New Jersey tax waivers can take time; counsel can often use an escrow or L-9 filing to proceed.

03

Heirs signing from out of state may use a mobile or remote notary—plan ahead.

General information only—not legal, tax, or financial advice. Consult your attorney about your specific transaction.

Common questions

Can an estate sell before the tax waiver arrives?

Often yes—we coordinate an escrow or L-9/L-8 filing with counsel so closing isn’t delayed.

Do you prepare deeds?

Deeds are prepared by counsel; we coordinate, review for recordability, and record.
