From Alan Fields, FLTA Government Affairs Committee Chairman:
Last Saturday, our friends at the Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Section of the Florida Bar approved revisions to Chapter 5 of the Florida Uniform Title Standards dealing with the Estates of Decedents.
The Uniform Title Standards are regularly relied upon by Florida’s courts and are viewed as the “Gold Standard” for determining what constitutes marketable title in Florida. The Section devotes a great deal of time and effort to reviewing changes in Florida Statutes and case law, and keeping the Uniform Title Standards up to date, then makes them available to the industry free of charge.
We recommend each of our members make use of this excellent reference at http://www.rpptl.org/DrawNews.aspx?NewsArticleID=51. The updated Chapter 5 should appear on their website in the next few days.
