The real estate market is once again very active, and H&S rounds out its real estate practice by adding closings to its repertoire. In Florida, you are not required by law to have an attorney do your closings, but it is a good idea for several reasons.
Easy Access to your Attorney
First and foremost, having a title agent who is an attorney makes things much easier. An attorney understands the workings of a real estate transaction — as opposed to following a script and checklist.
If you have a question or a situation even slightly out of the ordinary, you will quickly appreciate having access to an actual attorney.
Complex Closings
Second, a law firm is equipped to handle even complicated closings, such as _
- commercial properties
- foreign sellers subject to FIRPTA
- transactions with estate tax withholdings
- properties subject to liens or judgments
Accordingly, HLA’s attorney-owned title company has the legal expertise to comfortably close even complex transactions.

Real estate transactions always involve significant amounts of money and are often the most important transactions a client makes.
