Technically, no—but it’s strongly recommended. A real estate attorney helps protect your interests, review the contract, ensure a clean title, and guide you through the closing process, especially when unexpected issues arise.
Title insurance protects you against financial loss if problems arise with your property’s title. In Florida, either the buyer or seller typically pays for it—depending on the county. ZWP Firm can issue title policies and handle closings directly.
Yes. We offer remote online notary (RON) services and fully digital e-closings for clients across Florida.
No. A will actually goes through probate. To avoid probate, you’ll need tools like a revocable living trust, beneficiary designations, or certain deed structures. We’ll help you choose the right strategy.
Yes. Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy—it ensures your wishes are followed, your loved ones avoid court delays, and someone you trust handles your affairs if you’re ever incapacitated.
Absolutely. Florida law allows for Pet Trusts, including for horses and other high-value animals. We can draft one as part of your estate plan.
It depends. A simple estate with no disputes can be settled in a few months. A complex estate or one with litigation can take over a year to settle. We help clients understand what to expect from the start.
A Personal Representative (also called an executor) is appointed by the probate court. That person has legal duties and liabilities, so working with an attorney is key.
Yes, in many cases. With proper planning, probate can often be minimized or avoided through the use of trusts, beneficiary designations, or joint ownership.
Yes. Handshake deals are risky, especially in today’s equestrian market. A written agreement protects both parties and outlines key terms like price, health disclosures, trial periods, and liability.
Absolutely. We draft and review liability releases, boarding contracts, and waivers specific to Florida’s equine laws and Wellington’s equestrian community.
It depends on your goals. Most small businesses use LLCs for liability protection and tax flexibility. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of LLCs, corporations, and partnerships.
If the deal matters—yes. A properly drafted contract prevents disputes, protects your rights, and ensures you don’t miss key legal language that could cost you later.
We’re happy to explain how Florida law applies to your situation—and help you take the right next step.
