Free Homestead Preparation:
Massachusetts allows all homeowners to protect up to $500,000 in the value of their principal residences against creditor lawsuits. As a courtesy to our clients, preparation of homesteads is provided at no cost. You only need to pay the $35 Registry of Deeds recording fee to the state.
Providing Title Examinations & Title Insurance Policies:
It is imperative that your property is free of prior liens and encumbrances. This can only be done with a thorough title examination. Title insurance provides additional protection against unknown title defects.
