Some ran. Some walked. Different paces, same outcome—we crossed the finish line as a team.

Not every dispute turns on what was promised—many turn on whether those promises can actually be enforced.

In this case, our client faced a breakdown between what was represented during the sales process and what was ultimately delivered. The result was a federal action involving breach of contract, alleged manufacturing defects, and misrepresentation.

The outcome: a full settlement valued at approximately $500,000, along with the release of liens tied to the equipment at issue.

What’s notable is not just the result, but the timeline. While cases like this often extend for years, this matter was resolved in a matter of months through focused litigation strategy.

In the full article, we break down the claims, the posture of the case, and what businesses should take away when contractual obligations are not met.

Ocurre con más frecuencia de lo que la gente cree: un socio, amigo o colaborador le convence de transferir una propiedad a su nombre, presentándolo como una ventaja fiscal, una estructura más segura o un paso necesario para concretar un negocio. La transferencia se realiza correctamente, el título de propiedad es válido y, sobre el papel, todo parece estar en orden.

Hasta que la relación se rompe.

De repente, la persona que figura como titular reclama la plena propiedad, a pesar de que usted financió la compra, pagó la hipoteca, cubrió los impuestos y se encargó del mantenimiento de la propiedad. En ese momento, muchos asumen que no existe recurso legal alguno, pero eso no siempre es cierto.

Según la ley de Florida, los tribunales reconocen reclamaciones tales como el “fideicomiso constructivo” (*constructive trust*), diseñado para abordar situaciones en las que la propiedad fue transferida basándose en declaraciones falsas o en un abuso de confianza. Bajo las circunstancias adecuadas, la ley puede exigir al titular de la propiedad que rinda cuentas sobre sus contribuciones financieras y le restituya aquello que legítimamente le pertenece.

La conclusión es sencilla: el título de propiedad es fundamental, pero no siempre tiene la última palabra.

Si usted se encuentra en esta situación, no es un asunto que deba ignorar o postergar. Estos casos dependen en gran medida de los hechos específicos de cada situación y requieren una evaluación legal inmediata.

It happens more often than people think: a partner, friend, or associate convinces you to transfer property into their name—framed as a tax advantage, a safer structure, or a necessary step for the deal. The transfer is done properly, the title is valid, and on paper, everything checks out.

Until the relationship breaks down.

Suddenly, the person on title claims full ownership, even though you funded the purchase, paid the mortgage, covered the taxes, and maintained the property. At that point, many assume there is no recourse, but that’s not always true.

Under Florida law, courts recognize claims such as a constructive trust, designed to address situations where property was transferred based on misrepresentation or abuse of trust. In the right circumstances, the law can require the title holder to account for your financial contributions and restore what is rightfully yours.

The takeaway is simple: title is critical, but it is not always the final word.

If you find yourself in this position, it is not a situation to ignore or delay. These cases are highly fact-specific and require immediate legal evaluation. Direct message (DM) our attorneys or contact us below:
