I am working on a property that is in foreclosure in WA state. It is 2 months into the process, $11,500 in back payments and taxes and a few thousand in attorney fees for the mortgage holder’s attorneys. Is there a ballpark estimate of how much attorney fees will be once the 135 days is up and it goes to sale, and is there any formula for calculating the rate of their charges?

This is a rephrasing of a question I asked earlier, but realized was too vague. Which documents are prepared by the seller’s attorney? And which one does the title search? What else must the seller’s attorney do?

We will be closing on our new home next month in Northern VA. As first time home buyers, we are not sure if we do require a real estate attorney in understanding legal issues pertaning to the settlement. How much do these attorneys typically charge and is it really imperitve that you hire one?
PS: I forgot to mention it is a new construction.
We did get a pre-dry wall as well as pre-settlement inspection.
