Real Estate Law and Property Transfers for Inverness and Citrus County Families

Real estate is the piece of an estate that most often causes trouble. A house, a few acres near Lake Tsala Apopka, or a rental property can become a long court matter if the title is not handled correctly. At Eden Law Group, P.A. in Inverness, FL, we help clients connect their property to a complete estate plan.

Attorney John H. Eden IV has practiced in estate planning and administration for over 20 years. He is licensed in Florida and Montana, so he understands the issues that come up when a family owns land in more than one state.

Florida law looks at how property is titled at your death, not at what you meant to happen. A home held in your sole name must be probated, even if you have a will. The right deed, prepared in advance, can change that outcome.

Careful planning lets you keep control of your property while you are alive and makes things easier for the people you leave behind. Families in Inverness, Hernando, and Marion County often tell us that knowing the house is settled brings real peace of mind.

The questions below come up often in our Inverness office. Each situation is different, so we offer a free first consultation to look at your deeds and goals.
