Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
In a real estate transaction, is a jet ski dock which is located at the end of a dock, considered a fixture? The dock itself is not attached to the dock, but there are pipes that go down through the jet ski dock into the ground which are held in place by U-bolts attached to the dock. The owner of the home we are purchasing is stating they are taking it, we feel it is a fixture and should be coming with the property.

The contract controls. It should have been specified, if not you will have an argument you need to make. I would suggest you need to get an attorney.
