Contract Law

The Walton Law Firm provides legal advice on contracts. Contracts are promises that the law will enforce. With few exceptions, all contracts regarding Land and Real Estate must be in writing. Otherwise, verbal contracts generally can also be enforced.

Deeds & Powers of Attorney

A deed is an unassuming and usually short piece of paper that has a big legal impact. A deed transfers an ownership interest in real property, and no real estate transaction where ownership transfers is finished until the deed is delivered to the buyer. A deed must include the names of the buyer and seller and the property’s legal description. The deed is signed by the person transferring the property and may make that person responsible to the buyer for other claims against or conditions on the property. A knowledgeable real estate attorney at The Walton Law Firm, can review the deed to ensure that it is accurate and properly executed.

The form and type of deed are critical. An experienced real estate lawyer at The Walton Law Firm, can analyze the circumstances surrounding your transaction, determine your needs, and review the content of the deed to ensure that the transfer is valid and appropriate.

A Power of Attorney is a powerful legal document that gives someone else right to act as though they are you, and the law will treat these actions as if you committed them yourself. If you are interested in having a Power of Attorney, consult with an attorney at Walton Jones + Browne to understand the risks and benefits, and to ensure the documents are properly prepared.

Mortgage Foreclosure Defense/Mortgage Modification Services
Financial hardship can happen to anyone. We know because our firm has represented hundreds of borrowers facing foreclosure by their lenders. Many times borrowers are willing to make payments, but the lender does not accept them.

Often, the best defense is a good offense. When mortgage lenders make mistakes, act irresponsibly or act maliciously, we seek to hold them accountable and secure the restitution and opportunities owed to our clients.

Many borrowers are unaware of their rights, and also of the most common violations of Federal regulations and Florida statutes that lenders commit. Such offenses can offset the money owed to the lender; eliminate their right to foreclose; entitle the borrower to rescind the loan; and/or require the lender to pay money to the borrower.

Rather than engage in lengthy litigation, our clients often ask us to help them modify the interest rate and/or the principle amount owed to the lender. In situations where we expose the lender’s liability, modifications are likely to occur. However, we have been successful at negotiating interest rate reductions and loan forgiveness when lenders are without fault, and even when the borrower has not yet defaulted on their loan.

Call us to schedule an evaluation of your mortgage situation.
