Our connection to Melbourne
Melbourne is about two and a half hours east of our Lutz office. Brevard is the Space Coast, with a real estate market shaped by the aerospace industry, a long-established retiree population, and a mix of beachfront and inland residential property. David is Board Certified in Real Estate Law through The Florida Bar. Gwen drafts Florida estate plans for Melbourne families under the same statutes that apply everywhere else in the state.
What Melbourne calls us about
Real estate leads the work. The market runs from historic neighborhoods like Eau Gallie and downtown Melbourne to beachfront property along A1A and inland residential and 55-plus communities west of I-95. Coastal flood and wind insurance questions, Brevard condo association rules, and typical residential closings all come across the desk. David reviews the Melbourne contract, handles the title work with the local title company, and closes by e-signing.
Estate planning for Melbourne families goes to Gwen. Aerospace-industry retirees, long-time Melbourne homeowners, and newer arrivals drawn to the Space Coast lifestyle all benefit from careful Florida estate planning. Wills, revocable living trusts, durable powers of attorney, and healthcare directives are drafted to run smoothly through Brevard probate if administration ever becomes necessary.
Immigration for Melbourne clients runs through USCIS Orlando or Jacksonville depending on case type. Family-sponsored petitions and naturalization matters are handled from our office.
Why our office
What brings Melbourne clients to us is the real-estate specialization, a focused estate planning partner, and direct access through a two-attorney office. Twenty-five years at one office keeps the engagement consistent. Most Melbourne referrals trace back to earlier work we closed well.
