Contracts
In NH real estate, the 'closing' date differs from the 'possession' date because:

BClosing is when legal title transfers; possession can be agreed to occur before or after closing✓ Correct
CPossession always occurs 30 days after closing in NH

Closing transfers legal title, but possession (when the buyer can physically occupy the property) can be negotiated to be different. Sellers may need a few days after closing to move out (post-closing occupancy agreement), or buyers may get early possession before closing.
