Where the three practices meet
Real estate, business and estate planning questions rarely arrive one at a time. A rental property is usually owned by an LLC, the LLC belongs in someone’s estate plan, and the estate plan has to account for Florida’s homestead rules.
Because the firm handles all three, the deed, the operating agreement and the trust are drafted to work together, and nothing falls between two lawyers.
Matters that cross practice lines
- Buying a rental property through a new LLC, then assigning the membership interest to your revocable trust
- Selling a business that also owns the building it operates from
- Converting an out-of-state LLC to a Florida LLC and updating the estate plan that holds it
- Passing a Florida home to the next generation with an enhanced life estate deed
- Preparing the company resolutions and authority documents a bank or title company requires for a loan

Having the attorney and the title agency under one roof means the contract, the title work and the closing documents are reviewed by the same team.
