Read it as text
  1. Tuesday, 4:52 p.m. On the lawyer’s phone, an email from the buyers’ agent, Priya Nair: offer accepted on 41 Juniper Row, signed APS attached, closing November 27. Three other files close on Friday. The lender has called twice and left a voicemail about an insurance binder, and a client texts to ask whether Friday’s closing is still on.
  2. The handoff. On the same phone, the lawyer taps Forward and sends Priya’s email, with the APS attached, to Jane A at jane@lintel.legal, adding one line: “New purchase, closing Nov 27. Can you take it?” Moments later a lintel message from Jane A slides in at the top of the screen: has the financing condition been waived? The lawyer taps it and the conversation opens. File 2026-0204 is open for Dana and Sam Reyes, $689,000, closing Friday, November 27. The lawyer answers “No.” Jane A replies that the deal is still conditional, until October 27, and that she’ll take it from here.
  3. The chase. A cutaway to the file log on the lawyer’s desktop. Jane A emails Priya about the open financing condition. On Friday the lender approves the mortgage, and Jane A asks the buyers’ broker for the insurance binder. On Monday, the day before the deadline, she calls Priya: “Hi Priya, it’s Jane from lintel, calling about Dana and Sam on Juniper Row. Do you have their signed financing waiver? The condition ends tomorrow.” Priya: “Oh, I’m so sorry! I’ll send it right now.” Jane A: “Thanks, Priya. I’ll watch for it.” Six minutes later the waiver Dana and Sam signed arrives, and Jane A files it for the lawyer’s review. The call is illustrative, with synthetic voices: listen to it (English audio, MP3, 18 seconds).
  4. The searches, on the same desktop. Title: the sellers’ 2019 mortgage is still registered, so the requisition asks for its discharge on closing. Executions: a writ against a Samuel Reyes with a different birth date needs an identity declaration from Sam. Realty taxes: the sellers paid 2026 in full and get $560.00 back on adjustments.
  5. Your call. Back on the phone, in the conversation with Jane A. The APS includes the water heater as owned; the sellers say it is rented. Jane A flags it for the lawyer’s judgment and drafts a requisition, and nothing goes out until the lawyer says so. The lawyer answers: “Send it. I’ll call Dana and Sam.” It goes to the sellers’ lawyer and is logged on the file.
  6. Closing. On Thursday Jane A sends a checklist: the financing waiver, signed by Dana and Sam on October 26 and reviewed by the lawyer on October 27; the lender’s conditions met and the insurance binder on file; the discharge statement for the sellers’ mortgage; and Dana and Sam’s signing at the lawyer’s office, with Sam’s identity declaration. On Friday the lawyer registers the transfer and the mortgage and releases the funds from trust, and the keys go to the buyers. On Monday Jane A has the reporting letter drafted for the lawyer’s signature and is tracking the discharge.
  7. lintel does everything between the APS and the keys for $399 a file, plus HST and disbursements. The lawyer reviews, signs, registers and controls the funds.

Good clerks are hard to find. Harder to keep.

Hiring takes months and training takes longer. Your closings can’t wait for either.

lintel starts on your next file and stays with it to the reporting letter. You pay per file, and only when there is one.

How it works

  1. Send the APS.

    However suits you: email, text, fax, upload or your AI agent.

  2. We run the searches.

    Title, executions, taxes, utilities and the status certificate.

  3. We chase and flag.

    Missing documents, the lender and the other side. Key risks reach you early, in one list.

  4. You review and sign.

    We deliver the finished closing package. You review it, sign and register.

However you work, your clerk picks up.

Email it. Text it. Call it. Fax it, if you must. Or point your AI agent at it.

Questions

Is it AI?

Partly. Software does the routine work. People check it. You deal with one clerk.

Who is responsible for the file?

You are. lintel works under your direction. It does not give legal advice, sign documents or release trust funds.

Do I need new software?

No. If you can send an email, you can use lintel.

Whose name is on the emails?

lintel’s. For a fee, your firm’s.

What happens to client information?

We use it only for your files. See our Privacy Policy.

Since 2016.

We’ve been working on this together since 2016. For years, the technology wasn’t quite ready.

This is our fourth attempt. This time, we’ve got it just right.
