Do I legally need a real estate attorney to buy or sell a house in Sandy Springs?

Buying or selling in Sandy Springs, you cannot skip the attorney: Georgia law puts every closing in the hands of a licensed attorney, since preparing the deed and closing documents counts as the practice of law here. An attorney cannot delegate this role to a non-lawyer and must be present for the deed's execution. Joel Boss can recommend attorneys he trusts, though you choose and hire your own for the transaction.
