Fiduciary FAQs
What is a fiduciary relationship?
A fiduciary relationship in real estate involves legal obligations where an individual or entity must act in the best interests of another party. Various types of fiduciaries, such as bankruptcy trustees, trustees of a trust, personal representatives, real estate agents, and those handling probate cases, each have unique responsibilities to fulfill. One of the biggest responsibilities held by fiduciaries is prioritizing their clients’ interests over their own. This guarantees that all actions taken by the title agent are intended to benefit the client.
Does bankruptcy affect a property's title?
Yes, bankruptcy affects a property’s title. When bankruptcy is filed, an automatic stay halts all collection activities, and a trustee manages the debtor’s assets, including real estate. The title can be clouded by existing liens or legal issues. At Palm Title, we handle these complexities, ensuring clear title transfers and compliance with bankruptcy laws.
What documents are needed for closing?
For a fiduciary real estate closing, essential original legal documents include the purchase agreement, deed, and deed of trust or mortgage. If these originals are lost or destroyed, certified copies can often be obtained from the lender or closing company.
Does the seller have to be present at a closing in Florida?
In Florida, buyers and sellers are not required to be physically present at the closing site. The necessary paperwork can be sent to them for signing and then returned to the closing agent or their attorney. This flexibility allows for a more convenient closing process, and most fiduciaries, including bankruptcy trustees, trustees of a trust, personal representatives, and those handling probate cases, find this method efficient and accommodating to their schedules.
What is the responsibility of a title company in Florida?
Title agents in Florida must make sure that the title to a piece of real estate is legitimate and clear of any liens or encumbrances. They conduct thorough title searches, issue title insurance, facilitate the closing process, and handle the transfer of funds and documents.
Which party is considered a fiduciary?
In each legal and real estate transaction, parties such as bankruptcy trustees, trustees of a trust, personal representatives, the real estate agent, and those handling probate cases have fiduciary responsibilities. They must act in the best interests of those they represent, ensuring that all actions are conducted properly and legally.
