Real Estate Law

With a constant influx of new residents and a thriving commercial landscape, opportunities to acquire and develop property abound in Florida—but so do the disputes that can derail a project.

Retaining knowledgeable legal counsel is therefore indispensable. At Lyons Law Group in Melbourne, Florida, our real estate dispute attorneys blend deep legal expertise with proactive risk management.

We not only resolve title, zoning, and contract conflicts efficiently but also implement strategies to prevent unexpected issues from arising down the road.

Every successful Florida property transaction hinges on solid contracts—from purchase and sale agreements to commercial leases, joint venture pacts, financing documents, and construction contracts. Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating these legal instruments requires meticulous attention to detail to prevent breaches that trigger costly litigation. Our real estate attorneys craft clear, enforceable contracts tailored to Florida’s statutes, ensuring your rights are protected at each stage and potential disputes are navigated expertly to ensure the best outcome for our clients.

Common Florida Real Estate Disputes and How We Help

Whether you’re facing a foreclosure, eviction, boundary fight, or lien claim, working with an experienced Melbourne real estate dispute attorney is the difference between costly delays and efficient resolution.

Real estate disputes come in all shapes and sizes. The key is often to spot potential issues and address possible disputes as early as possible to limit cost, delay, and other impacts and avoid drawn-out court battles. Our real estate dispute lawyers commonly assist clients in these types of real estate disputes:

Forclosures

Economic downturns and other unforeseen circumstances are part of the risk that comes with any real estate deal. Our firm represents banks and borrowers in foreclosure proceedings. These situations can raise complicated questions about how a mortgage was obtained, serviced, and transferred, and strict requirements must be met before a foreclosure is approved.

Leases and Evictions

Eviction is the legal process by which the property owner forcibly removes a tenant, often for failure to pay rent or to comply with the terms of the agreement. Our firm resolves these matters quickly and effectively.

Quiet Title

Property title issues can cause significant headaches long after the property is transferred, putting clear ownership of the parcel at risk. Quiet title actions are commonly used to resolve these issues so a property can be sold. Our real estate transaction attorneys also help commercial clients secure their investments by obtaining title insurance.

Construction Law

A lien is a valuable tool for contractors or subcontractors who have not been properly paid for their work on a project. The lien is a security interest that stays on the property where the work was performed, effectively forcing the owner to pay what is owed to get the lien removed before anyone will purchase the property.

Partitions

This legal tool is used to divide property with more than one owner when those people or entities cannot agree on whether to sell or otherwise dispose of it.

Easements & Boundary Disputes

Whether a neighbor is encroaching on your property or you need to negotiate a right of way through another parcel, our real estate transactions and dispute lawyers can assist you.

Property and Real Estate Fraud

Property owners must disclose a wide range of information to buyers in a sale process. When they do not do so, the seller may be liable for fraud and breach of contract.

Homestead Rights and Protection

Homestead is an important legal protection available for certain residential property owners in Florida. State law generally protects a person’s primary home from creditors. However, there are several exceptions, including for certain mortgage foreclosures and actions related to failure to pay taxes or to pay for construction and improvements on the property.
