Dealing with title companies

[Nicholas Ferraro]

I spoke with a real estate attorney about the steps involved in purchasing land without a real estate agent. I know I need a land purchase contract, and I know a title company should be involved. She told me it would be best to have an attorney deal with that part because I would need someone who understands the paperwork from the title company.

My question is, do I really need an attorney to help with that paperwork? Or is it something I can understand on my own?

I don’t have much experience with this as I’m sure you can tell. 
thanks for any help
