Do I Need A Lawyer To Refinance In Connecticut?
Mortgage holders who are considering looking into a refinance sometimes believe that their primary source of information should be the lending institution. While it is reasonable to expect clear and straightforward communication from mortgage lenders, it is also important to recognize that their priorities may not align with the mortgage holder’s perspective. An attorney representing the mortgage holder, on the other hand, can provide much-needed reassurance and guidance.
A Banker May Provide Information And A Refinancing Offer, But Cannot Practice Law
A banker naturally wants to earn a commission and settle a deal expeditiously. However, a banker cannot explain loan documents to a borrower. There is no guarantee that all facets of the refinancing will be clear to the borrower or that the refinancing is truly in the borrower’s best interests.
The lender may not verify that previous loans have been paid off or ascertain whether the land has been subdivided, whether back taxes have been paid or whether there is any other impediment to a smooth transaction with the best available terms for the borrower. Even when a lender is well-intentioned, a banker cannot practice law without a license as needed to resolve legal impediments that become apparent.
