Questions From Lake Wales Clients?
Do you understand the unique issues with older Lake Wales properties
Yes, we frequently work with properties in Lake Wales that have long histories, including former citrus groves and older platted subdivisions. These properties can have easements, old mortgages or unrecorded deeds that need attention. We review the title carefully and pursue curative steps when needed.
Can you meet in Lake Wales for clients who cannot travel?
In some cases, we can arrange special signings or meetings in Lake Wales for elderly or medically fragile clients. We evaluate each situation and look for practical solutions. Our goal is to balance convenience with legal requirements for witnessing and notarization.
Is it necessary to have a will if all I own is a Lake Wales home?
Even if your primary asset is a single home, a will can make administration easier for your heirs. It clarifies who should inherit and who will handle the process. We also review how your home is titled to see if other options are available.
How does probate work if my parent lived in Lake Wales but died in another state?
If your parent was a Florida resident, their estate is usually probated in Polk County, regardless of where they passed away. We help determine residency, gather documents and file the correct case. If they owned property in another state, we can coordinate with an out of state attorney as needed.
Can you help with a boundary issue involving a neighbor near Scenic Highway?
Yes, we handle boundary and easement disputes across Polk County, including properties along Scenic Highway and the Lake Wales Ridge. We often start with a survey and a clear letter to the neighbor. If that does not resolve the problem, we discuss litigation options such as a quiet title or injunction.
