A title company does not represent you. It only represents the paperwork; consequently, it cannot advise or answer any legal questions you may have. That would be the unauthorized practice of law. Some title companies are lawyer-owned, but even in those situations, there remains a conflict of interest between representing you and representing the title underwriter’s interests. A title company can only process the transaction and is not permitted to give you any advice.

In contrast to a title company, only a lawyer can answer all of your questions. Only a lawyer is dedicated to representing your best interests. Most noteworthy is that Florida Bar Board Certified Real Estate Lawyer* is allowed under Florida law to be called a “real estate law specialist.”
