This Livli guide is educational, not legal, tax, or financial advice. Property facts and agreements differ, so use qualified Minnesota professionals for advice specific to your situation.
Immediately after acceptance
Save a complete copy of the signed purchase agreement and confirm the title company, closing date, purchase price, included property, access terms, and possession date. Provide requested contact and identity information directly through the title company’s secure process.
Help the title work move
Respond promptly to questions about mortgages, home-equity lines, judgments, liens, divorces, estates, trusts, ownership changes, or unpaid property obligations. If multiple owners or authorized signers are involved, confirm who must sign and whether remote arrangements are needed.
Prepare the property as agreed
Remove only the belongings you agreed to remove. Do not assume every direct sale allows everything to remain. Confirm keys, garage controls, security codes, leased equipment, utilities, and the exact possession plan in writing.
Review before signing
Read the preliminary settlement statement and verify the purchase price, mortgage and lien payoffs, taxes, agreed credits, closing costs, and expected proceeds. Ask about unfamiliar charges before closing day. Independently verify wire instructions with the title company using a trusted phone number.
