Q. How to transfer condo from LLC to personal ownership in Florida?

June 17, 2025

A: Generally, there are 2 steps that would need to be completed from a procedural stand point for the transfer. #1 Review the COAs governing documents to identify what requirements are needed for transfer. Usually, you will need COA approval to transfer ownership interest. So make sure to comply with the governing documents and obtain any requisite approval. #2 You can quit claim the title of the property from the LLC to yourself. There are several pros and cons as it relates to taxes, asset protection, voting interests, and access. I would recommend receiving a consultation from a condo attorney before initiating this process.

Q. How can I handle non-payment for HVAC replacement by a solar company in Florida?

June 3, 2025

A: As it relates to depression and anxiety and any non-economic damages, Florida generally does not allow recovery of those damages under these sort of circumstances in the way you have described them. Nevertheless, you may sue them for breach of contract and other causes of action to obtain the money that they owe you under the terms of the contract. The next step would likely be to send a demand letter in hopes of avoiding escalating to litigation. If that does not work, you will likely need to file a lawsuit or proceed with whatever the dispute resolution clause in the contract calls for.

Q. Does a board meeting qualify as "the next regular or special meeting of the association" under FL Statute 720.309(2)(a)?

April 25, 2025

A: No, a special meeting usually refers to a special meeting of the members, not a board meeting. This is governed by § 720.306, Fla. Stat., and it typically involves homeowners/members being called together for a specific purpose (e.g., voting on amendments, removal of directors, etc.). Special meetings of the members require 14 days' mailed and posted notice, not just 48 hours. I would recommend pursuing a recall and upon prevailing forcing a special meeting for the recall. My firm can help you pursue these efforts.
