What brokers and loan officers should know about closings and property rules in West Virginia, and how Hancock Processing works your files there.
West Virginia is an attorney state. West Virginia treats conducting a real estate closing and examining title as the practice of law, so closings are handled by a West Virginia-licensed attorney or by staff working under an attorney's direct supervision.
No. West Virginia is not a community property state, and it has abolished dower and curtesy.
Not as an owner, but West Virginia law requires a married person who mortgages real estate to notify their spouse, before or within 30 days of the deed of trust. The spouse's signature on the deed of trust is one way to show that notice was given.
