Document Review
Independent review of the prepared package before the appointment, with attention to completeness, consistency, execution requirements, and identified special instructions.
OB
Overflow & Backup Coverage
Flexible attorney capacity when your regular closer is unavailable, double-booked, out of the office, covering another county, or managing a temporary refinance-volume increase.
LS
Defined Attorney Assignments
A file-specific engagement with the scope agreed in advance, so everyone knows what the attorney is handling before the closing date.
Who we support
Built for the companies that refer Delaware refinance files
The firm serves organizations that already possess and coordinate the transaction and need reliable Delaware attorney capacity to help ensure the closing proceeds smoothly, professionally, and in accordance with the requirements of the particular assignment.
TC
Title Companies
Delaware attorney coverage for prepared refinance files, working alongside your existing title, escrow, lender, and post-closing process rather than displacing any part of it.
SC
Settlement Companies
Delaware attorney coverage when the file is ready but your regular attorney is unavailable — review of the prepared package, attendance, and execution under Delaware attorney authority.
ML
Mortgage Lenders
Delaware attorney representation at the closing, engaged through approved vendor, referral, title, settlement, or law-firm channels and exercising independent professional judgment throughout.
LF
Law Firms
Delaware attorney coverage for vacations, family emergencies, court conflicts, simultaneous appointments, and recurring refinance overflow, on a defined and conflicts-cleared scope.
SS
Signing Services
Delaware requires a licensed Delaware attorney for residential closings. For assignments within an agreed scope, the firm provides that attorney — not a notary substitute.
VM
Vendor Management Teams
Straightforward onboarding — W-9, written scope, professional liability and cyber liability documentation — for a law firm that integrates with your workflow while remaining professionally independent within it.
How the engagement works
Clear scope, agreed before the closing date.
The scope of each assignment is confirmed in advance, so the division of work is understood by everyone before the closing date and the attorney arrives prepared.

Why referring companies call
Experienced enough to step in. Focused enough to stay out of your way.
Flat per-file pricing
Transparent attorney-service pricing established for the assignment—not hourly billing and not a percentage of the loan amount.

Built for scheduled overflow, rush requests, same-day availability, evening appointments, and weekend signings when scheduling permits.
Delaware focus
Delaware is the entire focus of the practice — its counties, its recording offices, and the execution requirements national teams ask about most often.
Document-review detail
Prepared-package review before the borrower appointment
A clean closing starts before the signing begins. The prepared package is reviewed in advance so execution issues surface early rather than at the table.
Review supports a cleaner signing and return.
The review is directed at the signing itself: understanding the prepared file well enough to conduct the appointment competently and to raise anything that needs your team's attention.
- ✓ Confirm the package is complete enough to conduct
- ✓ Identify special signing or scanback instructions
- ✓ Understand the authorized escalation contacts
- ✓ Prepare for routine borrower document questions

A five-step workflow from coverage request to package return
The process is designed to fit into the referring company's existing refinance-closing operation with minimal disruption.

Schwander Legal reviews conflicts, confirms availability, agrees the scope, and identifies the responsible transaction contacts.
3
Review the package
The prepared refinance documents and closing instructions are reviewed so the appointment can be conducted competently and issues can be escalated appropriately.

The Delaware attorney meets with the borrower, oversees execution, handles routine document questions, and contacts your team when something needs a decision.
5
Return the package
Required scanbacks are completed and the signed original package is returned through the agreed secure method with a concise closing-status report.
The process is built to drop into the way your team already works —
an experienced Delaware attorney at the point where one is needed.
