Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“1) Title Search The title search and preparation of title documents for the lender and subsequent preparation of related documents is the practice of law which must be performed or supervised by an attorney. 2) Loan Documents A lender may prepare legal documents for use in financing or refinancing a real property loan so long as an independent attorney reviews them and makes any corrections necessary “to ensure their compliance with law.” 3) Closing Real estate closings and mortgage loan closings should be conducted only under an attorney’s supervision. The supervising attorney may represent both the lender and the borrower after full disclosure and with each party’s consent. 4) Recordation of Documents The recording of documents is the “final phase” of the real estate loan process and must be done under the supervision of an attorney.”
