Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Re: Notice of Homestead procedure and forms

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

This is not something that you will find gratuitously online. In your situation, you should be represented by an attorney in this closing to ensure that everything is done properly.

I would strongly suggest that you retain a qualified real estate attorney to represent your interests and to watch over the transaction. I am not sure what you mean by "preforeclosure" which is not a legal term. A delay by the Buyer or his/her closing agent can force you to lose everything.

Go to your tax assessors office with proof of residence. They have the forms.
