Florida Real Estate Legal Services

Whether you are resolving a co-ownership dispute, clearing a title defect, recovering surplus funds, or closing on a property, our firm guides you through partition actions, quiet title actions, surplus funds recovery, and closings and title work.

Partition Actions

When co-owners of a Florida property can't agree on what to do with it, a partition action gives each owner a legal path to resolve the dispute and move forward.

Quiet Title Actions

A quiet title action clears competing claims, old liens, or gaps in ownership history so you can hold clean, marketable title to your Florida property.

Surplus Funds Recovery

If your property sold at foreclosure for more than what you owed, the surplus belongs to you, and we help you claim it before the deadline passes.

Closings and Title Work

From title searches to the closing table, we handle the legal side of Florida real estate transactions so buyers, sellers, and investors can close with confidence.

Florida Property Law Answers

Here are answers to common questions Florida property owners ask before requesting a consultation.

  • What can I do if a co-owner will not sell a Florida property?

    A partition action may let a court divide the property or order a sale when co-owners cannot agree. The court reviews ownership interests, property facts, and claims between the owners. An attorney can assess the deed, explain likely outcomes, and pursue a practical resolution under Florida law.
  • How does a quiet title action help with a title problem?

    A quiet title action asks a court to resolve competing claims or defects affecting ownership. A successful case can remove a cloud on title and help make the property easier to sell, finance, or insure. The process depends on the property records, parties involved, and the specific title issue.
  • Can I claim money left after a Florida foreclosure sale?

    You may have a claim if a foreclosure or tax sale produced funds beyond the amounts legally owed. Eligibility can depend on ownership records, liens, court orders, and filing deadlines. An attorney can review the sale records, identify the proper claim process, and prepare the required documents.
  • Do I need an attorney for a Florida real estate closing?

    An attorney can review contracts, title records, liens, closing papers, and transaction terms before funds and ownership change hands. Legal review is especially useful when a deal involves title concerns, investors, estates, remote parties, or unusual contract terms. Early review can identify issues before closing day.
  • Does the firm handle Florida property matters outside Palm Beach Gardens?

    The Law Office of Renee Marie Smith, PA serves property owners, co-owners, heirs, buyers, sellers, and investors throughout Florida. Clients can seek help with disputes, title concerns, surplus-funds claims, and real estate transactions even when the property is outside Palm Beach Gardens. Contact the firm to discuss the matter.
