Who pays for a Cumming buyer's attorney, and when do I need to hire one?

A buyer in Cumming hires and pays their own attorney separately from the seller's side, and Georgia law requires an attorney to conduct the closing itself regardless of who retains one earlier in the process. Bringing an attorney in once a contract is signed, rather than waiting until days before closing, gives that attorney time to review title work and flag issues early. Joel Boss recommends a Cumming buyer line up an attorney as soon as an offer is accepted.
