What value does a real estate lawyer add on top of title insurance?

Posted on Sunday 11 April 2010

RetroBlader asked:

If title insurance already protects against:
- survey errors
- legal description errors
- negligence
- forgery
- liens

and negates the need for:
- zoning compliance certificate
- tax certificate
- hydro/water/gas certificates
- law society levy

what value does a real estate lawyer add on top?

Is it just for wading through the legalese in the Offer and the Agreement?
