Selling a home you inherited? It can take a little more paperwork than a typical sale, and the earlier we see it, the smoother things go.

If the property is going through probate, the executor (called the personal representative in Massachusetts) will need proof of their appointment from the probate court. We'll also usually want a copy of the death certificate and the will.

If the home was held in a trust, the trustee will need to show they have the authority to sell. In most cases that means a trustee's certificate and some of the trust documents.

If no estate was ever opened, that's often the first step before a sale can happen. It's more common than people think, especially when a parent passed away years ago and the house just stayed in the family.

Depending on the size of the estate, a release of the estate tax lien may also be needed before the buyer's title is clear.

None of this is unusual, and we handle estate and trust sales regularly. If you're an executor, trustee, or heir thinking about selling, reach out before you list. We'll look at the title and tell you exactly what's needed so there are no surprises at closing.

Ever wonder what we're actually doing when we "run title"?

A title search is a look back through the public records to make sure the person selling the property has the right to sell it, and that nothing attached to it will follow you after closing. Here's some of what we check:

The chain of deeds, to confirm ownership passed correctly from one owner to the next.

Old mortgages, and whether each one was properly discharged. A loan that was paid off years ago but never released on the record is one of the most common issues we find.

Liens and attachments, including tax liens, contractor liens, and court judgments against the owner.

Probate and estate records, when the property passed through someone who died.

Unpaid municipal charges like real estate taxes, water, and sewer.

Easements and restrictions that affect how the property can be used.

Most of the time, the search comes back clean or with small fixable items. When it doesn't, finding it now is a lot better than finding it after you own the place. That's the whole point.

Quick heads up: Massachusetts registries of deeds are closed today for the holiday, but our office is open and working as usual.

Here's why that matters if you're closing soon. In Massachusetts, signing the documents and recording the deed are two separate steps, and the deed has to be recorded at the registry before a sale is officially on the record. When the registry is closed, nothing records, so a closing scheduled for a holiday usually records the next business day. That can affect when funds go out and when keys change hands.

With Veterans Day and Thanksgiving coming up, it's worth checking the calendar now if you're planning a late fall closing. If your date lands near a holiday, give us a call and we'll help you plan around it so moving day isn't a surprise.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and real estate is one of the biggest targets out there. A closing moves a lot of money and a lot of personal information between a lot of people, and scammers know it.

A few habits that protect you while you're buying, selling, or refinancing:

Don't email your Social Security number, bank account numbers, or photos of your ID. If we need something sensitive, we'll tell you how to get it to us safely.

Be suspicious of any email that changes instructions at the last minute, even if it looks like it came from us, your agent, or your lender.

Put a strong, unique password on your email account. A lot of real estate fraud starts with a hacked inbox.

When in doubt, pick up the phone and call a number you already have.

We would much rather get a call asking "did you really send this?" than have a client find out the hard way.

To the realtors and loan officers who send us their files: thank you. A lot of what we do never gets seen by the buyer or seller. It's the commitment that comes back clean, the payoff that gets chased down before it becomes a problem, the CD that balances the first time, and the phone call you don't have to make because we already made it.

If we haven't worked together yet, we'd like to. We handle title, escrow, and closings across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, and we're set up to move at whatever pace your file needs. Send the next one over and see how it goes.

Selling your home this fall? Here's what the title company will need from you, and why it's worth getting a head start.

Your mortgage payoff information. We'll request the official payoff from your lender, but having your loan number and lender name handy speeds it up.

Any liens or judgments, even old ones. A paid-off home equity line that was never formally discharged is one of the most common last-minute surprises. If you think there's anything on the property, tell us early and we'll track down the release.

Your current deed, if you have it. Not required, but it helps.

Marital status and how you hold title. If you bought the house alone and later married, or the other way around, that can change who needs to sign.

Estate paperwork, if you're selling as an executor or trustee.

The earlier we have this, the quieter your closing day will be. Most seller delays come from something that could have been cleared weeks in advance. Send it over and we'll handle the rest.

We're going to say this one plainly, because it matters.

Wire fraud is the biggest financial risk in a real estate closing right now. The scam is simple: a criminal gets into someone's email (an agent, an attorney, sometimes the buyer), watches the deal move along, and at the last minute sends "updated" wire instructions that look completely legitimate. The buyer wires their down payment, and it's gone.

Here's how to stay safe:

Our wiring instructions do not change. If you get an email saying they have, it's not from us.

Before you send any funds, call our office at a number you already know and confirm the instructions by phone. Don't use a number from the email.

Be suspicious of urgency. "Wire today or the closing is off" is a red flag, not a deadline.

If something feels wrong, stop and call. A ten-minute delay is nothing. A lost down payment is everything.

Share this with anyone you know who's buying a home this fall. It's the most important thing they'll read before closing.

Today was a special day for our New England Title family. 🐾❤️

Anyone who knows us knows how much animals mean to us. They bring so much love, comfort, and joy into our lives, and we believe every animal deserves to feel safe, cared for, and loved while they wait for their forever home.

Today, we were incredibly happy to make a $1,500 donation to the Animal Rescue League of Fall River to support the wonderful work they do for animals in our community.

But we’d love for this to be about more than just our donation. If you’re an animal lover and are able to give, even a few dollars, we hope you’ll consider supporting them too. Every contribution helps provide food, shelter, medical care, and another chance for an animal who needs it.

If we all give a little, together we can make a big difference. 🐾❤️

With love,
The New England Title & Escrow Services Team ❤️

Closing day is coming up. Here's what to have with you so nothing holds things up at the table.

A valid government photo ID (driver's license or passport). Everyone signing needs one, and the name has to match the documents.
Your funds for closing, sent by wire ahead of time. Call our office directly to confirm the wire instructions before you send anything. We will never change wiring instructions by email.
Proof of homeowner's insurance if your lender requires it at closing.
Your checkbook, just in case there's a small last-minute adjustment.
Any documents your lender or attorney asked you to bring, like a power of attorney if someone is signing on your behalf.

Bring the whole party if you can. Anyone on the deed or the loan needs to sign, and a missing signer is the number one reason a closing gets pushed.

Questions before your date? Give us a call. We'd rather answer them now than at the table.
