Real estate attorneys in Kansas: what buyers ask
Do you need a real estate attorney to close in Kansas?
None of the Kansas statutes read requires a real estate attorney at a home closing. Title insurance agents may operate as escrow, settlement or closing agents if they hold client money in separate fiduciary trust accounts (K.S.A. 40-1137).
What closing costs does Kansas law set?
Kansas has no official typical closing-cost total. It repealed its 0.26% mortgage registration tax in 2019, found no transfer tax, and Johnson County charges $21 for the first page and $17 for each added page to record.
