FAQ

Deeds: To validly execute a deed, two methods are permitted. The individual may: sign in the presence of a witness to evidence the execution; or. direct another person to sign the deed in the individual's presence and in the presence of two witnesses to evidence execution.

Yes you can write your own contracts. A written contract is only a written record of something that has already been agreed in speech. So to start with write down in simple terms what has been agreed already, that is a good starting point.

Although you don't have to hire a lawyer, you should. Entering into a legally binding agreement isn't something you should take lightly. Signing a document without fully comprehending the terms or your rights is dangerous. It can lead to significant unintended consequences and time-consuming legal battles.

A Florida real estate lawyer can also draft a real estate contract for you, especially helpful if you are buying or selling in a “for sale by owner” situation without a Realtor involved.

The short answer is no. A lawyer is not required to draft a contract for a business or an individual. In fact, anyone can draft a contract. Although this is the case, it's not necessarily the best strategy.

In Florida, a contract is established through a simple but vital process: offer, acceptance, and exchange of value (consideration). This means that a contract comes into existence when one party presents a clear offer, and the other party accepts it, coupled with an exchange of something of value.

You cannot form a valid contract in Florida without consideration. Both parties must give “consideration” for a contract to be formed. If one party does not receive consideration as part of the agreement, only a mere promise has been made. Promises are not enforceable in Florida.

If you need to obtain a copy of your mortgage agreement, you will need to do so at the office where the mortgage is filed.

During the approval process, the lender will advise that the insurance policy you choose must have the proper mortgagee clause (likely documented in your commitment letter). Once you select your homeowner's insurance company, you will provide the lender mortgagee clause, including the address of the lender.
