Additional Title Services We Offer
As a licensed Florida title office, we can also assist with various title-related needs, including:
• Quitclaim Deeds
A Quitclaim Deed is a legal document used to transfer ownership of real estate without making any guarantees about the title. It’s commonly used between family members, in divorce cases, or to clear up title issues. Our office prepares and records quitclaim deeds to ensure a smooth and legally valid transfer.
• Title Searches
A Title Search is a detailed examination of public records to verify a property’s legal ownership and identify any existing liens, claims, or title defects. This is a critical step in any real estate transaction to ensure the title is clear and transferable.
• Lien Searches
A Lien Search investigates whether there are any outstanding debts, such as unpaid taxes, mortgages, or code violations, attached to a property. Discovering liens before a sale or transfer helps avoid legal or financial surprises after closing.
• Title Insurance
Title Insurance protects homeowners and lenders from financial losses due to defects in the property’s title, such as unknown liens, boundary disputes, or errors in public records. We work with trusted, experienced underwriters to carefully issue comprehensive title insurance policies that provide peace of mind during and after a real estate transaction.
FAQ Real Estate Transactions in Florida

While not legally required, hiring a real estate attorney is highly recommended. An attorney can review contracts, negotiate terms, ensure clear title, handle closing documents, and protect your interests throughout the transaction.
FAQ - What is a seller's market?
A seller’s market occurs when demand for homes exceeds supply. This situation favors sellers because buyers compete for fewer properties, often leading to higher prices and faster sales.
FAQ - How long does it take to close on a home?
Closing usually takes 30 to 60 days from the contract date, depending on factors like financing, title clearance, and the parties’ responsiveness. Cash deals may close faster, while mortgage approvals or title issues can delay closing.

Our legal team works closely with clients throughout the title review process to help identify potential concerns before closing whenever possible.
FAQ - What Happens During a Real Estate Closing?

FAQ - Can I Buy Property Through an LLC?
Many investors purchase Florida real estate through a Limited Liability Company (LLC) as part of an overall business or asset protection strategy. Whether an LLC is appropriate depends on each client’s individual legal, financial, and tax considerations.

FAQ - What Is a Quitclaim Deed?
A quitclaim deed transfers whatever ownership interest the grantor has in a property without guaranteeing that the title is free of defects. Quitclaim deeds are commonly used for transfers between family members, trusts, or business entities.

Our attorneys help clients integrate real estate planning with wills, trusts, and broader estate planning objectives.
FAQ - Can Property Be Sold During Probate?
In many cases, real property can be sold during probate. However, the process depends on the type of probate administration, the authority granted to the personal representative, and applicable Florida law.
