Entry Level Post Closing Paralegal

Holler Law Firm LLC • Rocky Hill, CT

13d • Onsite

About The Position

This role picks up every residential closing after signing. You'll review executed packages for missing items, disburse funds and balance files to zero, get recordable documents to the right Connecticut town hall on time, and issue title policies once recording confirms. The work is steady and detailed. Real money moves through these files and real homes are changing hands, so accuracy is the whole job.
Mancuso Carey is the Connecticut retail division of Holler Law Firm, which has handled attorney-directed residential closings since 2009. This position is based in our Rocky Hill office and supports the retail closing practice across northern and eastern Connecticut.

Requirements

• Experience in real estate closings, title, escrow, banking, mortgage servicing, legal operations, or accounting. Other roles where you've been trusted with funds, original documents, or precise records are also relevant.
• Strong attention to detail with numbers, names, wire instructions, and legal documents.
• Ability to follow written procedures consistently, including stacking order, naming conventions, and escalation paths.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Excel.
• Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to stay calm when something's off and you need answers from a lender, agent, or vendor.

Nice To Haves

• Experience handling escrow or IOLTA funds.
• Familiarity with RynohLive or similar reconciliation software.
• Connecticut recording experience.
• Background reviewing closing disclosures, ALTA statements, ledgers, and wires.
• Experience preparing owner's and lender's title policies.

Responsibilities

• Review executed closing packages for signatures, initials, notarizations, and required attachments. Track down what's missing and coordinate corrections with borrowers, sellers, agents, and lenders.
• Process incoming and outgoing wires, short-to-close checks, deposit checks, seller proceeds, broker commissions, recording checks, and payoff checks. Confirm good funds before any disbursement leaves the trust account.
• Balance every file to zero before completion. Escalate imbalances or unusual funding issues to the appropriate attorney or paralegal.
• Prepare recordable documents (deeds, mortgages, powers of attorney, easements, subordinations, assignments) for submission to Connecticut towns or recording vendors. Track each one through to confirmation and resolve rejections promptly.
• Scan and upload closing packages to the firm's document management system using established naming conventions and stacking order. Catch duplicates and misnamed files before they propagate.
• Issue owner's and lender's title policies once recording confirmation comes in, then send them to the right parties with cover letters.
• Ship lender originals, title policies, and check packages by FedEx and mail. Track shipments and follow up on anything that goes missing, delays, or gets rejected.
• Handle returned checks, stop-payment requests, deposit returns when transactions terminate, and the firm's check-pickup procedures.
