How escrow and title work in New York
New York is generally described as an attorney-closing state. A real estate lawyer reviews the title examination, prepares or checks the deed and settlement statement, and supervises the disbursement of funds, while the title policy itself is issued through a title agent or underwriter.
Buyers and sellers in New York are usually each represented by an attorney, and the title search is ordered through a title insurance agent well before the closing date.
