Why YOU should have a real estate attorney in Florida! 1) Your attorney will review inspection reports making sure that any defects to the property are identified and addressed. They can also take action if deficiencies are not properly disclosed. 2) Attorneys can issue title insurance for the SAME PRICE as a title company. 3)Your attorney understands how different types of business arrangements work under Florida law when one or more parties in the sale are a trust, partnership or corporation. • • #BlockScarpa #realestate #realestatelaw #realestatelitigation #evictions #foreclosure #businesstransactions #estateplanning #financialplanning #wealthpreservation #wealthmanagement #probate #bankruptcy #litigation #sportslaw #smallbusiness #verobeach #fortpierce #indianrivercounty #fortlauderdale #bocaraton #delraybeach #miami #orlando #cocoabeach #picoftheday #photooftheday
