Florida law at a glance
- A notice of lis pendens can be recorded to give notice that a lawsuit affects title to property (section 48.23, Florida Statutes).
- Partition actions are governed by Chapter 64 and quiet title actions by Chapter 65, Florida Statutes.
- Specific performance is an equitable remedy. Courts may order a party to complete a real estate sale because each parcel of land is considered unique.
- Many real estate contracts include attorney’s fee provisions, and section 57.105(7) applies a one-sided fee clause to both parties.
