Who We Serve

Kelley, Grant & Tanis, P.A. represents the people and organizations on every side of Florida real estate: landlords and property owners, property managers, real estate investors, community and condominium associations, homebuyers and sellers, real estate professionals, families navigating probate, and individuals planning their estates. Below is how the firm helps each group, and why working with a Florida-licensed real estate firm matters for the specific risks each one faces.

Landlords and Property Owners

Florida law gives tenants several procedural opportunities to delay an eviction, and a single mistake in notice format or filing can restart the entire process while a non-paying tenant stays in place. Kelley, Grant & Tanis represents landlords statewide in residential and commercial evictions, handling notices, court filings, hearings, and Sheriff coordination, with flat-fee pricing from $295* for uncontested matters and a goal of completing the process in 30 days or less. The firm also prepares and reviews leases and enforces lease contracts. Because eviction procedure is governed by Florida-specific statutes and local court practice, representation from a firm that handles these cases at volume protects landlords from the technical errors that cost the most time and money.

Property Managers

Property managers handle eviction and lease issues across many units and owners at once, which means procedural consistency matters as much as any single case. The firm works with managers to keep notices and filings compliant, move nonpayment and holdover matters through the courts efficiently, and handle the contract and access issues that come up across a portfolio. A standing relationship with a Florida real estate firm gives managers a predictable process they can apply across every property they oversee.

Real Estate Investors

Investors carry risk at every stage: the purchase, the title, the tenancy, and the eventual sale or transfer. Kelley, Grant & Tanis supports investors with title examination and title insurance, closings on residential and commercial acquisitions, LLC formation and deed preparation, lease drafting, evictions, and the litigation that arises from partnership, escrow, and contract disputes. Florida's title and landlord-tenant rules differ from other states, so investors operating here benefit from counsel who structure deals and tenancies to hold up under Florida law.

Homebuyers and Sellers

A typical residential transaction involves dozens of documents, strict deadlines, and disclosure requirements that most people encounter only a few times in their lives. The firm reviews contracts before clients sign, negotiates terms that protect their position, handles closings, and steps in when the other party tries to back out or renegotiate. For commercial transactions, the firm addresses lease disputes, zoning issues, partnership agreements, and development contracts where a single error can derail a project. Florida-specific contract and closing requirements make local representation worth far more than the fees it costs.

Community and Condominium Associations

Homeowners' associations and condo boards operate with broad authority and limited oversight, a combination that produces frequent legal exposure. The firm helps boards write enforceable rules, collect delinquent assessments, pursue lien foreclosures, amend governing documents, and make decisions that comply with Florida Statutes Chapters 718 and 720. Led by the firm's Association Law Department, this work is built specifically around Florida community association law.

Individual Owners in Association Disputes

The firm also represents individual owners on the other side of association overreach: improper fines, wrongful lien filings, denied architectural requests, and access restrictions that violate deed rights. Representing both associations and owners gives the firm a working understanding of how these disputes actually unfold, which helps owners push back effectively when a board acts outside its authority.

Families Navigating Probate

Florida probate requires court filings, creditor notifications, asset inventories, tax returns, and final accountings, all on strict deadlines, while personal representatives carry legal liability for mistakes. The firm guides families through formal and summary administration, handles the paperwork burden, and represents both personal representatives and beneficiaries when estates become contested. Because probate is administered county by county under Florida law, local guidance keeps the process moving and reduces the risk of costly errors during an already difficult time.

Individuals and Families Planning Their Estates

Without documented instructions, Florida intestacy law decides who inherits, and the default result rarely matches what people actually want. The firm drafts wills, establishes revocable and irrevocable trusts, and prepares healthcare directives, with attention to blended families, business succession, and real estate holdings. The firm also implements asset protection strategies using trusts, limited liability entities, and Florida's exemption laws. Florida residency and homestead rules create planning options that a Florida-licensed firm is positioned to use.

Real Estate Professionals

Realtors and other real estate professionals work alongside the firm to give their clients reliable closings, clean title, and sound contracts. A dependable legal partner helps professionals keep transactions on schedule and protect the relationships their business depends on.
