Do I Need a Lawyer to Sell My House for Cash in Florida?

Short answer: Florida does not legally require an attorney to sell your house. But a title company or real estate attorney handles the closing, and using the right one saves you thousands. Here is exactly when each makes sense.

Florida Is a “Title Company State”

Unlike states like Georgia that require an attorney at closing, Florida allows title companies to handle the entire closing process. Most straightforward Florida home sales close through title companies, not attorneys.

When You Absolutely Should Use a Real Estate Attorney

Inherited property or estate sale. Divorce or partition. Property with liens, judgments, or code violations. Complicated title history (unpaid heirs, missing deeds). Short sale or foreclosure defense. Owner financing or seller carry-back. Contract disputes with the buyer.

What a Florida Title Company Does at Closing

Runs the title search. Issues title insurance. Holds earnest money. Prepares the deed and closing statement. Records the deed with the county. Disburses funds. Cost: $500-$1,500 typically.
