CONVEYANCING
A major portion of the firm’s practice is in the area of residential and commercial real estate conveyancing. Attorney Aldo B. Consigli, Jr. heads up this department. Both he and Attorney Brucato have extensive backgrounds in title examination and certification, title insurance, as well as document preparation and the conduct of both residential and commercial real estate closings.
The firm also employs a full time title abstractor, Jacqueline A. Langlois, who is stationed at the Worcester South District Registry of Deeds. Ms. Langlois has a background of over forty-five years in title examination.
The firm also employs a full-time real estate assistant, Judith A. Brogioli, who has worked for over fourteen years in the conveyancing field. Ms. Brogilioli not only is expert in the mechanics of real estate closings, she is also available from 8:30 A.M. (EST) to 5:00 P.M. (EST) to answer questions and provide support to clients.
Each of the other attorneys in the office is proficient in real estate and each has conducted numerous real estate closings. The firm also has up to date real estate software, which gives it access to all of the latest forms and documents necessary to meet Federal and State laws and regulations. These factors give the firm flexibility and the ability to close a number of transactions daily.
Inasmuch as the firm does its own title examinations and writes title insurance, it can meet all anticipated closing dates. Furthermore, since it has a legal assistant who devotes most of her time to real estate conveyancing, both customers and lenders have quick and easy access to the status of their closings.
