Already Have a Buyer or Seller?
You do not need to navigate the transaction on your own. If you have already agreed to buy or sell Florida real estate—whether it is a private sale, cash transaction, family transaction, or investment property—our office can help take the transaction from contract through closing.
We can assist with the contract, escrow, title work, closing documents, title insurance, signing, recording, and legal issues that arise along the way.
Working With a Real Estate Agent?
If your contract allows you to select the title or closing agent, you can ask to have your transaction closed through our office. We work with buyers, sellers, agents, lenders, and other professionals to keep the transaction organized and moving toward closing.
Why Choose a Law Firm for Your Closing?
Most closings go smoothly. Some don’t.
Old liens, probate problems, deed errors, trust issues, contract disputes, and last-minute title problems can put a closing at risk. When your closing is handled by a law firm, you don’t have to start searching for legal help when a problem appears—we’re already involved.

What is Title Insurance?
Title insurance helps protect against certain problems with the legal ownership of real estate that may already exist when you purchase the property but are not discovered until later.
Before closing, a title search examines the public records for matters that could affect ownership. But even a thorough title search cannot always reveal every problem. Title insurance provides an additional layer of protection if a covered title issue is discovered after closing.
Title problems can include:
- Unreleased mortgages or liens
- Errors in public records
- Missing or improper signatures on prior deeds
- Unknown heirs or probate issues
- Problems with deeds or legal descriptions
- Fraud, forgery, or unauthorized transfers
- Judgments or other claims affecting the property
- Issues arising from prior divorces, estates, trusts, or business entities
The goal is simple: identify and resolve title problems before you close—and provide protection if a covered problem is discovered afterward.
Owner’s Title Insurance vs. Lender’s Title Insurance
There are two primary types of title insurance involved in many Florida real estate transactions, and they protect different interests.
Owner’s Policy — Protects You
Helps protect your ownership interest and investment in the property, subject to the policy terms.
Lender’s Policy — Protects the Bank
Protects the mortgage lender’s interest. It does not provide the buyer with the same protection as an owner’s policy.
