Real estate attorneys in Arkansas: what buyers ask
Do you need a real estate attorney to close in Arkansas?
No Arkansas statute or rule read requires an attorney to attend or conduct a residential closing, but agents may fill in blanks only on attorney-approved forms for simple transactions (17 CAR 220-1009(c), Pope County Bar Association v. Suggs).
What closing costs does Arkansas law set?
Arkansas has no official typical closing-cost total. The state transfer tax is $3.30 per $1,000 of consideration ($660 on a $200,000 sale) and Pulaski County recording is $15 for the first page plus $5 per added page.
