TITLE COMPANY – SOUTH FLORIDA REAL ESTATE LAWYER

SOUTH FLORIDA REAL ESTATE LAWYER

TITLE SERVICES – TITLE COMPANY

Buyers and seller alike should always hire an attorney to represent them and their interests for a real estate closing and real estate transaction. Whether you are buying in Miami Dade County and require the title company to represent you, examine the property title, and prepare a title commitment, or you are a seller of real estate and require not only contract review and revisions, but assistance with document preparation, you must always hire an attorney.

While many states only allow real estate attorneys  to conduct real estate closings, Florida is not one of them. Therefore, many sellers opt to use the title company selected by the buyer in order to represent them. However, that opposing party title company does not represent you. They will charge a fee for document preparation, or settlement services, but at the end of the day, if there is an issue, you are on  your own.

Seller services can include contract preparation, contract review, addendums, inspections negotiations for credits, and a host of different documents required whether the seller is a trust, or a company. There are also issues relating to death of the title holder or liens on the property. 

As a buyer,  the title company will also help with contract preparation or review, run title, run lien searches and prepare closing statements.

While no two real estate transactions are ever alike, no matter whether you are on the seller side or the buyer side, do not go it alone.

At the Law Offices of Jacqueline A. Salcines, P.A. we have been assisting foreigners, both buyers and sellers, with their real estate needs since 1999.  We are a full service title company and extremely knowledgeable in FIRPTA rules and regulations.

Whether you are buying, selling or refinancing, we will handle all of the details and represent you from contract to closing.

FIRPTA considerations in today’s changed landscape

SOUTH FLORIDA REAL ESTATE LAWYERS

FIRPTA law, which stands for the Foreign Investment Real Property Tax Act, recently changed last year, increasing the withholding from 10% to 15%.  Many foreign sellers who enter into Residential real estate contracts, are not aware of this FIRPTA withholding requirement.  Foreign sellers believe that because they don’t pay federal income taxes in the United States, then they are immune from declaring any profits on real estate sales transactions or filing tax returns. This is false.

Any seller of real estate is required to disclose the sale to the Internal Revenue Service and if a foreigner, then 15% of the gross sales price will be withheld at the time of closing and remitted to the Internal Revenue Service.

Additional forms are then required to be filled out and sent to the IRS and eventually a tax return which if the amount of tax on the sale is less, the FIRPTA withholding difference is then refunded.

There are numerous exemptions to FIRPTA withholding requirements, for example if the sales prices is less then $300,000.00, if the buyer is going to live in the property, and countless others.

However many title companies and even attorneys are not familiar with exemptions and retain the funds regardless.

The risks of not having an experienced Real Estate Attorney at your side

With an experienced real estate attorney you can be sure that these processes are completed as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Government Oversight and Regulations in Real Estate Transactions

Because there are several government agencies that monitor acquisitions, it is in the best interest of any party involved in an acquisition of a property or company, to obtain the services of an experienced attorney. You need to know that there is someone who wants to help look out for your best interests and protect you from making a costly mistake.
