Florida Property Help From Hundreds of Miles Away
See how the Florida Property Desk helps Maine and New Hampshire
families and professional advisors navigate Florida property,
title and closing matters.
FLORIDA REAL ESTATE | MAINE & NEW HAMPSHIRE
When You Live in New England but the Property Is in Florida
Florida Property Can Create Questions From Far Away
Many Maine and New Hampshire families own Florida second homes,
retirement properties or investment properties. In other cases,
a Florida home becomes part of a family estate.
As a result, a family may need to sell, transfer or deal with Florida
property while living many miles away. That can feel complicated,
especially when title, estate or ownership questions arise.
We Focus on the Florida Side
The Closing Agent helps with Florida title, escrow and settlement.
In addition, our team works with the people involved in the
transaction so everyone understands what needs to happen next.
A Genuine New England Connection
New England isn’t unfamiliar territory to us. Several members of
The Closing Agent team are New Englanders themselves.
We understand the connection so many Maine and New Hampshire families
have with Florida — whether it’s a second home, a future retirement
home, an investment property or property that has become part of a
family estate.
FLORIDA PROPERTY DESK
Florida Property Situations We Help With
Our Florida Property Desk helps New England families and their
advisors with common Florida title and closing needs.
01
Selling Florida Property From Maine or New Hampshire
If you own a Florida home or condo while living in New England,
we can help manage the Florida title, escrow and closing process.
Therefore, you do not have to handle each closing detail on your own.
02
Buying a Florida Home or Second Home
Moving, retiring or buying a Florida second home? Our team provides
Florida title, escrow and settlement services from contract through
closing.
03
Inherited Florida Property
A parent, spouse or other family member may leave Florida real estate.
In that situation, we can help identify title issues that may need
to be handled before the property can be sold or transferred.
04
Florida Property in an Estate
Sometimes a Maine or New Hampshire estate includes Florida real
estate. We can coordinate the Florida title and closing work and,
when needed, work with legal professionals involved in the matter.
05
Florida Property Held in a Trust
Trust-owned Florida property may have its own title requirements.
Because of that, our team reviews the title and helps coordinate
the closing when a sale or transfer is planned.
06
Florida Title Problems
Old mortgages, liens, judgments, deceased owners and missing
releases can slow down a closing. Fortunately, our team can help
identify what needs attention before the transaction moves forward.
INHERITED PROPERTY, ESTATES & PROBATE
Florida Property May Require More Than a Typical Closing
When a Family Member Owned Florida Real Estate
When someone dies while owning Florida real estate, the title,
estate documents and ownership structure can affect what must happen
before the property can be sold or transferred.
The Florida Property Desk can help identify the Florida title and
closing issues involved and coordinate the appropriate next steps.
Experienced Florida Legal Resources
When legal guidance is needed, matters can also be coordinated with
experienced Florida counsel handling areas such as probate, estate
planning, trusts, real estate law and business law.
Legal services are separate from The Closing Agent’s title, escrow and
settlement services. Any attorney-client relationship must be established
separately with the law firm.
FOR ATTORNEYS, REALTORS & PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS
A Florida Title and Closing Resource for Your Clients
You Do Not Need to Become a Florida Title Expert
Florida property may appear in an estate, trust, home sale or
financial plan. However, that does not mean a Maine or New Hampshire
professional should have to learn the full Florida closing process.
A Simple Referral Process
Start by sending us the Florida property address and a short note
about the matter. From there, our team can review the title and
closing needs and help coordinate the Florida side.
HOW IT WORKS
One Florida Property Address. A Clearer Path Forward.
You can start the process even if you are not sure what the title,
estate or closing issue may be.

First, tell us where the Florida property is located and briefly
explain the situation.

may need attention.

Then, we work with the property owner and other professionals
involved in the Florida matter.

relationship must be created directly with the law firm.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Florida Property Questions From Maine & New Hampshire Families
Can I sell my Florida home while living in Maine?
Yes. Many Florida sales can be handled while the owner remains
in Maine. Our team can coordinate Florida title, escrow and
closing steps with the people involved in the transaction.
Can I sell Florida property while living in New Hampshire?
In many cases, yes. You may not need to travel to Florida just
to complete the sale. Many parts of the transaction can be
handled from New Hampshire.
What happens if my parent lived in Maine but owned property in Florida?
Start by finding out how the Florida property is titled.
After that, the title and estate facts can help determine what
must happen before the property is sold or transferred.
What if a New Hampshire estate includes Florida real estate?
Florida real estate may create separate title or legal steps.
The Florida property should be reviewed before a sale or transfer
moves forward.
Do I need Florida probate if I inherited Florida property?
It depends on how the Florida property is titled and the specific
circumstances of the estate. The Florida Property Desk can help
review the property information and identify the appropriate next
step. When legal advice is required, it must be provided separately
by a licensed Florida attorney.
Can The Closing Agent handle a Florida closing if I live out of state?
Yes. We work with Florida buyers and sellers who live in other
states. Living outside Florida does not prevent you from using
The Closing Agent for your Florida closing.
Do I have to travel to Florida for closing?
Not always. Many transactions can be handled remotely.
However, the exact signing process depends on the property,
documents and transaction.
