Florida Real Estate Attorney for Title Issue

Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I’m looking for a Florida-licensed real estate attorney to urgently review a complicated chain-of-title issue involving conflicting deeds, a custodial transfer to a minor, a later disclaimer of interest, and a current title-insurance requirement. My goal is to determine who legally owns the property and whether the title can be cleared without obtaining a deed from the now-adult former minor. The key facts are: * A Florida LLC owned the property. * In 2013, the LLC executed a quitclaim deed to an adult “as custodian of” a minor, but the deed does not expressly reference the Florida Uniform Transfers to Minors Act. * In 2014, the named custodian recorded a disclaimer stating she had no knowledge of the deed, never accepted it, it was never delivered to her, and she declined the custodial role. * In 2015, the LLC executed another deed conveying the property to different owners. * A subsequent divorce judgment also specifically addressed ownership of the property. * Title Insurance company’s current title commitment acknowledges the disclaimer but is nevertheless requiring a deed from the now-adult minor. I need an attorney experienced in Florida title defects, deed interpretation, chain-of-title issues, UTMA, title insurance, and preferably quiet-title litigation to review the documents and advise whether the current title requirement can be challenged or otherwise cured. The complete document package is organized and ready for immediate review. This is time-sensitive because the property is currently under contract.
