More details to this question:
Hi. I'm selling a house I own that is in disrepair in a cash deal. The buyer is from NJ, the house is upstate NY. The title company won't deal with us without an attorney, however the house is being sold so low, that an attorney for me the seller just isn't in my budget. I'm on disability. What can I do, this is holding up closing.

Title insurance is something the buyer chooses to get and pay for.  I am not sure why the company requires you to have an attorney, but it sounds like there are issues that you do not understand.  If you want to do the sale, you are going to have to deal with these issues.
