Frequently Asked Questions
When should I hire a real estate attorney?
In Florida, you are not required to have a closing attorney, but we recommend having an attorney as contracts are extensive. Some individuals hire an attorney early in the purchasing process, to handle such matters as reviewing the brokerage contract with a real estate agent, while others wait until the property’s closing. The earlier you obtain representation, the easier it is to avoid or minimize problems.
What does a lawyer do at a real estate closing?
The attorney represents the client's interests at closing. The attorney will review all paperwork in advance and advise on any problems or omissions within the documents.
Why is a title review important in a real estate transaction?
A title review confirms a property's legal ownership. It will reveal if there are any claims or liens on the property that will cause the title not to be clean. A clean title is required for any real estate transaction to go through properly.
