* Deed Prep fees cover up to two hours of attorney work. Some deed preparations may take longer due to title complications or other issues and additional time will be billed accordingly.

The above fees do not include the title insurance premium. Please contact our office to calculate the premium for title insurance if a title insurance policy is to be issued.
Cash closing means the buyer is not using a lender/financing. It does not mean we accept, or pay the seller, in cash. We accept cashiers checks and wire transfers only, and we only pay in checks or wire transfers.

REGISTRY OF DEEDS RECORDING FEES are based on the number of pages of the document being recorded. The fee for most counties in Maine is $22.00 for the first page and $2.00 for each additional page thereafter per document. Please note that there may be additional recording fees depending on the number of parties named on the document.

The Maine Real Estate Transfer Tax is based on the sales price. The buyer & seller each pay $2.20 per $500.00 of the amount of the sales price.

The above fees are our basic statement of charges effective April 6, 2021. Please feel free to call us for a quote on any additional legal services needed.
