What Clients Say About Dean Firm...
Common Questions about Real Estate Law
What is the process for buying a home in Florida?
The process of buying a home in Florida typically involves several steps: finding a property, making an offer, getting a home inspection, securing financing, reviewing and signing contracts, and closing the deal. It’s advisable to work with a real estate attorney to ensure all legal aspects are properly handled.
Do I need a lawyer for a real estate transaction in Florida?
While it’s not legally required, having a lawyer for a real estate transaction in Florida is highly recommended. A real estate attorney can protect your interests, review contracts, ensure proper title transfer, and handle any legal issues that may arise during the process.
What is a title search and why is it important?
A title search is an examination of public records to determine and confirm a property’s legal ownership and find out if there are any claims or liens against the property. It’s crucial because it ensures that the seller has the right to sell the property and that you’ll receive clear title to the property upon purchase.
What is title insurance and do I need it?
Title insurance protects property owners and lenders against any property loss or damage they might experience because of liens, encumbrances or defects in the title to the property. In Florida, it’s highly recommended and often required by lenders. It provides peace of mind and financial protection against future title problems.
What are closing costs in Florida real estate transactions?
Closing costs in Florida typically include fees for title search and insurance, appraisal, survey, attorney fees, recording fees, and property taxes. These costs can range from 2% to 5% of the purchase price. Buyers and sellers usually split these costs, but the exact division can be negotiated in the purchase agreement.
What is the Florida homestead exemption?
The Florida homestead exemption is a tax benefit that can reduce the taxable value of your primary residence by up to $50,000. To qualify, you must own and occupy the home as your permanent residence. This exemption can lead to significant property tax savings for homeowners.
What are the landlord-tenant laws in Florida?
Florida’s landlord-tenant laws cover various aspects of renting, including security deposits, lease agreements, rent increases, and eviction procedures. Key provisions include limits on security deposit amounts, specific timelines for return of deposits, and requirements for proper notice before entering a rental property. Both landlords and tenants should familiarize themselves with these laws to understand their rights and responsibilities.
What is adverse possession in Florida?
Adverse possession is a legal concept where someone can claim ownership of a property by occupying it for a certain period of time without the true owner’s permission. In Florida, the period is seven years. The possession must be actual, continuous, hostile, open and notorious, and exclusive. This law is complex and rarely successful in modern times.
How does foreclosure work in Florida?
Foreclosure in Florida is typically a judicial process, meaning it goes through the court system. The process begins when a lender files a lawsuit against a borrower who has defaulted on their mortgage. The homeowner has the right to respond and may have options to avoid foreclosure. If the court rules in favor of the lender, the property will be sold at a public auction.
What are easements and how do they affect property rights in Florida?
Easements are legal rights to use someone else’s property for a specific purpose. In Florida, common types include utility easements and right-of-way easements. They can affect property rights by allowing others limited use of the property. Easements are typically recorded in property deeds and can impact property value and use.
What should I know about zoning laws in Florida?
Zoning laws in Florida regulate how property can be used in specific areas. They determine things like what type of buildings can be constructed, their height, and their purpose (residential, commercial, industrial). Before purchasing property or starting a construction project, it’s crucial to check local zoning ordinances to ensure your intended use is permitted.
How does eminent domain work in Florida?
Eminent domain is the power of the government to take private property for public use, with just compensation. In Florida, this process is governed by specific laws that require the government to prove necessity and provide fair market value compensation. Property owners have rights in this process, including the right to challenge the taking or the amount of compensation offered.
What are the disclosure requirements for selling property in Florida?
Florida law requires sellers to disclose all known facts that materially affect the value of the property which are not readily observable and are not known to the buyer. This includes issues like past flooding, termite damage, sinkholes, and defects in major systems. Failure to disclose can result in legal action by the buyer. It’s always best to err on the side of full disclosure to avoid potential legal issues.
