When Do You Actually Need a Real Estate Attorney in Florida?
Florida does not require a real estate attorney to be present at a closing — but that does not mean you should proceed without one. There are specific situations where having an experienced real estate lawyer on your side is not just helpful, it is essential.
You discovered a problem after closing.
If the seller failed to disclose a known defect — mold, water damage, foundation issues, a bad roof — or if the square footage or school district was misrepresented, you may have a legal claim. These cases have deadlines. The sooner you consult an attorney, the better your options.
You are inheriting property with other people.
Joint ownership of inherited real estate is one of the most common sources of real estate disputes in Florida. When heirs cannot agree on whether to sell, how to divide the proceeds, or whether one owner can force a sale, a real estate attorney can advise on your rights or file a partition action if necessary.
Something is wrong with the deed or the title.
If there is a lien on the property you did not know about, a deed that was signed improperly, a forgery, or a title defect that is preventing a sale or refinance, an attorney can identify the issue and the path to resolving it.
You are dealing with a difficult or complex closing.
Mail away closings, foreign sellers, estate sales, short sales, and transactions involving LLCs or corporations all carry risks that a title company alone may not catch. Larry Tolchinsky has closed thousands of transactions and knows where deals go wrong.
The other side has an attorney and you do not.
In any real estate dispute breach of contract, misrepresentation, partition, deed fraud the unrepresented party is at a severe disadvantage. If the other side has counsel, you should too.
Larry Tolchinsky has been a licensed Florida real estate attorney since 1994 and is also a licensed real estate agent giving him a practical understanding of transactions that most attorneys do not have. Call (954) 458-8655 for a free consultation.
