Re:    [style of case]

[Salutation]

We are ready to prepare the documents necessary to finalize your divorce. Some of the documents will [convey real estate/secure obligations with real estate/convey real estate and secure obligations with real estate].

In preparing the real estate documents, we are relying on information provided to us by [you/your spouse/you and your spouse] with regard to the ownership, legal description, liens, encumbrances, and restrictions that affect the property. We have made no independent inves­tigation of those matters. If the information supplied to us is not correct, adverse conse­quences may result. To ensure the accuracy of the information, you can have a title policy or a title search or abstract letter issued.

To ensure your title, we will be glad to recommend a title company or an abstract attor­ney whom you may employ to prepare these documents. WE DO NOT ISSUE TITLE POLI­CIES, NOR DO WE PREPARE ABSTRACTS OR MAKE TITLE SEARCHES. Naturally, there would be separate charges by the title company and abstract attorney.

Unless I hear otherwise [include if applicable: within [number] days], I will prepare the documents based solely on the information provided by [you/your spouse/you and your spouse].

Sincerely yours,

   
[Name of attorney]
