Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
We are a co-op renting a retail space. We are not a corporation however we have a business license. One of our members signed our lease and now she has passed away. On the lease, our name, Space Coast Crafters, is typed below the signature line. Her signature is above the line. Our landlady says the lease is still valid but I don't know if I agree.

If your member had authority to sign the lease, then it is still effective even though she has died. You need to have the lease reviewed in its entirety to be sure AND your status needs to be determined with the assistance of an attorney.
