The parties’ respective attorneys will generally give them instructions on what to bring to the closing. These items will typically include their photo identification (typically a valid driver license), checkbook, keys, garage door openers and passcodes. The documentation that goes with the house, such as warranties, old deeds and surveys, etc can typically be left in a binder folder in the home for the Purchaser’s benefit. Some Sellers will also give the buyer a list of vendors that have serviced the property in the past, such as heating oil, HVAC, landscaping, snow removal, garbage/carting services, swimming pool maintenance, caretakers, handyman, etc.
