Review the question and all answer choices

A

Attorneys only

Utah law does not require attorneys to handle real estate closings. While attorneys can participate, they are not the only or even primary method. The state allows title companies and escrow services to manage closings, making this option incorrect as it suggests attorneys are the only or typical method when they're not required in Utah.

B

Title companies or escrow

Correct Answer
C

Agents only

Agents cannot legally handle closings as they're not authorized to hold funds in escrow or prepare legal documents transferring property ownership.

D

Banks only

Banks may handle closings when they're providing financing, but they don't have exclusive rights to conduct closings in Utah.

Why is this correct?

Title companies or escrow handle closings in Utah as neutral third parties. They facilitate the exchange of documents, funds, and titles between parties, ensuring proper transfer of ownership while protecting all interests involved.
