The closing The closing is generally held at the office of the bank’s attorney or at the County Registry of Deeds. It may however be held anywhere that is mutually agreed upon. As the Seller, you may not need to attend a formal closing. Often you will review documents, including the Settlement Statement, with your attorney in the days leading up to the scheduled closing date. Once you approve the documents, you will sign them, and your attorney will deliver them to the Buyer’s attorney. The transfer of papers, including the Deed to the property, is official once the Buyer’s attorney records the papers at the local Registry of Deeds. After recording, you will receive the proceeds from the sale, and you will no longer be the “Owner of Record.”
