The term "full closing" refers to the closing of a real estate transaction that is assisted and witnessed by an attorney. In addition to witnessing the signing of the documents that transfer ownership of the property, the attorney generally performs such services as document preparation and title searches in order to verify that ownership of the property may be legally transferred without encumbrance for any legal or financial reason. Such searches are required by law, but are not required to be conducted by an attorney.

A more accurate way to differentiate between full and witness only closings in attorney only states might be by the level of service provided by the attending attorney. Additional services traditionally rendered by attorneys overseeing real estate transactions include, but are not limited to title searches and document preparation, services not provided by the traditional witness at witness-only closings - a notary public. Such attorney-assisted closings are referred to as full closings.

While the need for attorney only closings remains an issue for debate, there are several important advantages to having an attorney present, and only one drawback - the cost of an attorney.
