Florida Property Matters Receive Legal Direction

A Florida real estate attorney helps property owners resolve title disputes, force the sale or division of jointly owned property, recover surplus funds after a foreclosure sale, and handle the legal requirements of a property closing. Renee Marie Smith, Esq. has handled these matters across Florida for more than 25 years from her Palm Beach Gardens office.

Florida Property Issues Have Clear Legal Paths

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.

Service Selection Starts With the Property Problem

  • Which legal service helps when co-owners cannot agree about a property?

    A partition action gives co-owners a legal way to resolve a disagreement about jointly owned property. The court can order the property sold or divided so each owner can move forward with their share.
  • What service can help clear an ownership problem before a sale?

    A quiet title action addresses competing claims, old liens, or gaps in the ownership history. Clearing these issues gives you clean, marketable title so a sale or transfer can move forward without delay.
  • Who may have a claim to money left after a Florida foreclosure sale?

    If your property sold at foreclosure for more than the amount owed, you may be entitled to the surplus funds. Former owners and certain lienholders can have a claim, but strict deadlines apply.
  • When does an attorney-led closing make sense for a Florida transaction?

    An attorney-led closing helps when a transaction involves unusual title issues, multiple parties, or added legal risk. It ensures the paperwork, title search, and closing requirements are handled correctly.
  • What details should I gather before speaking with a real estate attorney?

    Bring the property address, any relevant notices or documents, and a short description of the issue. Having this information ready helps the attorney understand your situation quickly.
