Whether you’re buying your first property, leasing commercial space, or transferring ownership of a home, real estate transactions in Boca Raton demand more than a handshake and a signature. Legal oversight helps prevent overlooked risks and provides structure in case something goes wrong. At Kelley & Grant, P.A.—proud members of the Florida Bar Association—our attorneys support property owners, landlords, and investors across Palm Beach County.
We assist with deed transfers, lease disputes, escrow deposit issues, damage claims, and the formation of real estate LLCs. We also offer escrow services, review zoning matters, and draft operating agreements and leases. With a legal partner who understands both Florida statutes and local regulations, your real estate law goals are met with fewer roadblocks and greater clarity.
Why Seek Representation?
Boca Raton’s mix of gated communities, waterfront condos, and commercial developments creates a wide range of ownership structures. Each comes with its own rules, obligations, and potential conflicts. A vague lease, an improperly handled escrow deposit, or a missed zoning detail can cause delays or even legal action.
Florida’s property laws—such as those outlined in Chapter 83 of the Florida Statutes—add additional complexity. Having an experienced attorney by your side helps clarify these regulations, prevents missteps, and keeps you on schedule from negotiation to closing.

FAQs
When is it a good idea to use an LLC for my Boca Raton rental property?
If you’re leasing out property or acquiring multiple units, an LLC can protect your assets and simplify bookkeeping. We can advise on setup and ongoing compliance.
What should I do if a tenant demands their security deposit back prematurely?
We recommend reviewing the lease terms and documentation first. If disputes arise, we assist in enforcing fair terms and complying with state-mandated timelines.
Can I sue a seller if they didn’t disclose flood zone information or structural issues?
If you can show the seller knowingly withheld or misrepresented key facts, you may have a valid claim. We assess your case based on the contract and inspection history.
Do flat fees apply to most real estate legal services?
Yes, many transactions—including lease reviews, closings, and LLC formations—can be handled for a flat fee. We’ll confirm this after learning more about your needs.
How do I enforce a lease if the tenant stops paying or violates rules?
Legal action may include sending formal notices, initiating eviction, or negotiating an early termination. A strong lease helps us act decisively on your behalf.
Is an attorney necessary if my escrow deposit is only a few thousand dollars?
Yes, small amounts can lead to large delays if mishandled. We make sure your escrow rights are protected and that funds are released or withheld properly.
