Q: In Court private sale, when does the Court appointed transactional attorney get paid?
Does a Court appointed transactional attorney get paid at a property sale closing like a traditional out of court private sale real estate attorney, or is the Court attorney bill given to the Judge to review after sale and then determined and paid?
A: It isn't clear from your question what type of situation you are referring to by reference to a court appointed transactional attorney. Was the property in receivership? Was a guardian appointed? Was there a foreclosure sale? Was an administrator or executor appointed by Surrogate's Court? In most cases, the court order making the appointment will provide the answer you are looking for.
