Areas of Practice
PROPERTY & PROBATE MATTERS WE HANDLE
Real Estate Services
Partition and Co-Ownership Disputes
When co-owners cannot agree on the use or sale of property, legal action may be necessary. We help resolve disputes efficiently while protecting your ownership rights.
Quiet Title Actions and Title Defect Disputes
Unclear or disputed ownership can prevent you from selling or refinancing property. We handle quiet title actions and resolve title defects to secure clear legal ownership.
Foreclosure Defense
Facing foreclosure can be overwhelming. We provide strategic legal representation to protect your home and explore every available option to defend your legal rights.
Unlawful Detainer Actions
When you are a property owner, unlawful detainers require careful legal handling. We guide clients through unlawful detainer actions with clarity and precision.
Deed Preparation and Real Estate Document Drafting
A poorly drafted deed can create title problems that are costly to fix later. Careful preparation helps protect ownership and avoid future complications.
Probate Services
Probate and Estate Related Property Matters
Property issues often arise during probate and estate administration. We assist families in resolving ownership, distribution, and real estate disputes with care and professionalism.
Homestead Determinations
Homestead status can significantly impact property rights and creditor claims. We provide clear legal guidance to establish and protect your homestead rights.
Will Drafting
A well-drafted will gives clear direction for how your property should be handled and who should be responsible for carrying out your wishes. Thoughtful planning can reduce uncertainty and make the probate process easier for your family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only handle cases in Tampa, or throughout Florida?
Our office is based in Tampa, and we regularly serve clients throughout the greater Tampa Bay area, but we also work statewide as Florida real estate attorneys and probate attorneys. No matter where in Florida your property is located, contact us to schedule a free consultation.
What types of real estate litigation does Dutton & Salta handle?
Our attorneys handle real estate litigation involving partition actions, quiet title actions, fraudulent deeds, title disputes, foreclosure defense, evictions, unlawful detainer actions, and breach of contract claims. We represent property owners, co-owners, landlords, homeowners, and investors through every stage of the litigation process, from initial filing to trial, while working to protect their property and ownership rights.
When should you hire a real estate attorney?
You should hire a real estate attorney as soon as a dispute arises over property ownership, a title defect surfaces, foreclosure proceedings begin, or a co-owner wants to force a sale through partition. Acting early preserves your legal options and avoids missed deadlines that can weaken your case.
What should I do if I'm facing foreclosure in Florida?
If you’ve received a foreclosure notice, don’t wait. Florida law gives you a limited window to respond. A real estate attorney can review your loan documents, identify possible defenses, and explore alternatives like loan modification or a short sale. Contact our firm as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Do you represent landlords in property disputes?
Yes. We represent landlords in lease disputes, unlawful detainer actions, and evictions. At this time, we are not taking on tenant representation. If you’re a tenant facing a dispute with your landlord, we recommend reaching out to a tenants’ rights attorney or legal aid organization in your area. Because landlord-tenant law involves strict notice and timing requirements under Florida law, early legal guidance is important no matter which side of the dispute you’re on.
