Property Purchase In New York

I know it may be a good idea to have legal representation when buying property in New York state, however I am asking if it is requirement by the State of New York.

Former NY notary here...

It is only a "requirement" in NYC and its surrounding counties (Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester), and even then it is more about the way things have always been done.

So the answer to your question really depends on where the property is...
