Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts

In order to practice real estate law in Massachusetts, an attorney must be licensed to practice law in the Commonwealth and must be in good standing with the Board of Bar Examiners. That being said, while the tax attorney in your question has the license neccessary to represent a seller in a closing, an experienced Massachusetts real estate attorney would have the experience and training to ensure that the closing goes as smoothly as possible.

The only requirement in MA is that an attorney be licensed to practice law in MA. Moreover, most tax attorneys have sufficient knowledge to represent a Seller in the sale of a home absent a complex title issue.
