Carlton Fields Secures Settlement Preserving Sisters’ Interest in Inherited Miami Beach Condo

In partnership with Dade Legal Aid’s Put Something Back pro bono program, Carlton Fields represented two sisters in a contentious property dispute to protect their ownership interest in a Miami Beach condominium unit left to them by their late father. The litigation involved a complicated fact pattern spanning more than 20 years; complex legal issues under Florida, New York and New Jersey law; and the actions of several individuals who were deceased at the time the lawsuit was filed. The matter required substantial litigation, real estate, and probate expertise.

After lengthy and intense litigation, including the production of many hundreds of documents and the depositions of several witnesses on behalf of all parties, the firm secured a settlement that preserved the sisters’ financial interest in the property and enabled them to move forward with greater financial security.
