use an attorney in real estate purchase?

Long time lurker here, but new member. We are in the process of purchasing a property -- under contract and closing in a couple months. We'll be moving there in June. Wondering if any of you have used an attorney to review the final papers, trust, etc before the closing/finalisation.

I trust our agent, but he is the agent for the seller too. I understand the notary is independent and responsible for being everything right, and that the bank for the trust must sign off. Just wondering if it is normal or advised to use an independent attorney not involved in the transaction review everything before the big commit. Or is that overkill?

The transaction is pretty straightforward, so I don't have any specific concerns. But this is our first time through this process in Mexico, so want to make sure I am not being naive. Thanks!

Yes you should for many reasons. One item that is a must is making sure your heirs are correctly listed on the deed and with the fiduciary. Remember ANY change that is required in a deed requires almost FULL PRICE to change.
