Is Illinois an Attorney State for Real Estate?

By Breanna Raspopovich, Attorney at Parikh Law Group 
Illinois Real Estate Law

While Illinois does not require hiring a real estate attorney, having one is still a wise decision and most purchasers and sellers choose to engage the services of an attorney. Real estate transactions can be complex. A knowledgeable real estate attorney can help ensure that all legal requirements are met, and the transaction goes smoothly. Further, attorneys can provide assistance in a variety of areas, including contract negotiations, title searches, and document preparation.
Real Estate Attorney States
Do you need a lawyer to buy a house? While Illinois does not require homebuyers to hire an attorney, there are several states where it is mandatory. 
In these "real estate attorney states," a real estate attorney must be present at the closing to ensure all legal requirements are met. These states include Alabama, Connecti-cut, Delaware, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, and others. 
If you are purchasing real estate in any of these states, it is ideal working with a real estate attorney who is familiar with the local laws and regulations. Whether it is required in your state or not, it is always a good idea to consult with a real estate attorney who is experienced and knowledgeable in the complexities unique to real estate selling and purchasing. 
Real Estate Attorneys in Chicago
For those looking to buy or sell real estate in Chicago and its surrounding suburbs, it is particularly important to work with an attorney who is familiar with the local real estate market. Real estate laws can vary by state and city, and a real estate attorney who is knowledgeable about the downtown metropolitan and suburban areas and markets can help ensure your transaction goes smoothly.

Benefits of Hiring a Real Estate Attorney
Although hiring a real estate attorney is not required, there are several reasons why it is a good idea. 
First, an attorney can help you understand the legal implications of your real estate transaction and ensure that your interests are protected. They can also help ensure that all legal requirements are met, including title searches, property inspections, and document preparation.
In addition, an attorney can help negotiate the terms of the purchase agreement and ensure that any contingencies to be met are included in the contract and adhered to throughout the process. This can be particularly important if you are purchasing a property that has existing liens or other issues that need to be resolved before the sale can be completed.
Finally, an attorney can help ensure that the transaction goes smoothly, from the initial offer to the closing. They can provide advice and guidance throughout the process and help you avoid any potential legal pitfalls.
