Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions clients ask most before they engage us.
What kinds of residential transactions does Vellum Law handle?
Vellum Law focuses on luxury residential transactions throughout South Florida, with a concentration in Palm Beach Island, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Wellington, Fort Lauderdale, and the surrounding communities. Our clients are buyers and sellers of high-value homes, waterfront properties, and other residential transactions where the closing benefits from experienced counsel.
How does Vellum Law work with my real estate agent?
Closely. Most of our private client work comes through agent referrals, and the relationship with your realtor is part of what makes the process work. We coordinate directly with your agent throughout the transaction, keeping them informed and looped in at every stage.
Does Vellum Law provide title insurance and closing services?
Yes. We provide closing services and coordinate title insurance through our affiliated relationships when appropriate for the transaction.
When should I bring a real estate attorney into a residential transaction?
Ideally before you sign the contract. Many of the most important protections in a residential transaction are negotiated at the contract stage, and the cost of getting those right at the front end is much lower than the cost of revisiting them later. That said, we are happy to come in once a contract is signed or at any point during the closing process.
Do you work with both buyers and sellers?
Yes. We represent both buyers and sellers on residential transactions, though never on the same closing. Most of our clients fall into one category or the other consistently, and we serve as their primary residential closing counsel.
Can Vellum Law coordinate with my existing estate planning team?
Yes, and we often do. Title vesting decisions and ownership structures for high-value properties frequently intersect with broader estate planning, and we coordinate closely with your existing estate planning counsel to make sure the closing aligns with your overall plan.
