Real Estate Law 101: Warranty Deed – A legal document that provides the buyer with broad guarantees concerning the property's title, including that the seller has the legal right to convey the property and will defend the buyer against lawful claims to the title. In Florida, a warranty deed, often referred to as a general warranty deed, provides broad protection against title defects and covered claims, including those arising from events that occurred before the seller owned the property. Unlike a limited or special warranty deed, a general warranty deed can provide protection extending throughout the property's chain of title, subject to the specific terms of the deed and applicable law.

If you are buying or selling real estate in Florida and have questions about a warranty deed or potential title issues, call 813-549-0096 today and work with a Tampa real estate law firm you can trust!

Partition Focus Friday: Navigating a partition lawsuit comes with its associated costs. Here's a detailed breakdown:
Legal Costs: Initiating or defending a partition lawsuit requires an upfront payment of $500. This covers various legal costs, notably court filing fees.

Nonrefundable Minimum Legal Fees: Our firm charges a nonrefundable fee of $4500 for either filing or defending against a partition lawsuit. This amount is due at the outset.

Contingency Option: For those who prefer a different payment structure, our firm offers a contingency option. Under this arrangement, both legal costs and attorney fees are deducted from the sale proceeds of the property. This means you only pay once the property has been successfully sold and the proceeds are available. If you're in need of the services of a partition lawyer in Tampa, or have questions about a potential force sale of a property, call 813-549-0096 today!
