Ways a Real Estate Attorney Help

A real estate attorney in Florida, including in the Lakewood Ranch and St. Petersburg areas, can assist with matters related to the purchase, sale, or transfer of real estate. Your attorney can also assist you in cases where you need to prove ownership in a legal dispute over property.

What is involved in the closing process?

The closing process for buyers and sellers of real estate in Florida involves reviewing paperwork, signing documents, exchanging funds, and more. This process can be complex depending on your situation, but your attorney can simplify it and explain each step.

Do I need written consent from the lender to transfer my home before it’s paid off?

In Florida, due-on-sale clauses are common in real estate financing contracts. If you transfer ownership of a property, you may be obligated to pay outstanding interest. Your attorney can help you navigate the factors affecting your unique situation.

Someone has claimed that they bought my house, but I never sold it. What should I do?

Identity theft and title fraud are on the rise. While title fraud is a criminal matter, it does contain a civil element. As such, your attorney can work with you to rectify a situation where proof is required to show your ownership of a piece of real estate.

I am getting a divorce. Does Florida law require that the home gets split 50/50?

In Florida, marital property is usually split 50/50, so if the house was purchased together during the marriage, it may be split. There are unique factors that affect each divorce, and the divorce and real estate attorneys at the Lenoir Law Firm can work with you to protect your interests.

A loved one died without a will. I was supposed to inherit the house. How should I handle this?

When someone dies without a will in place, their estate is usually settled through probate court. If you believe that you are due to inherit a piece of property, our real estate and probate attorneys can provide you with answers and guidance to receive the best outcome for your situation.
