The Roknich Law Firm is open for business
UPDATED: COVID-19 Policy and Procedures in place from The Roknich Law Firm

Governor DeSantis has issued an executive order addressing essential services and activities during the COVID-19 emergency. The Governor’s order specifically states that “residential and commercial real estate services, including settlement services” is essential and a critical infrastructure workforce.
In compliance with the Governor’s order, the Roknich Law Firm will remain open and operating.
Our firm is on the leading edge of technology and is able to offer remote online notarization. This procedure is new to our industry and the technology is still being refined, however, we are now able to close transactions, including loan signings, with the signors sitting in their home.
Because remote online notarization is still in the early stages the process for the signor is cumbersome, but for many this may be the best choice since they will not need to leave home.
We still prefer to notarize documents in the presence of the signor, and we will continue to complete transactions in our office, or by mail where the signor can go to a notary. However, having the ability to close transactions remotely means that the current situation will not keep us from closing transactions.
We are vigilantly maintaining a clean environment making sure surfaces are disinfected before and after in-person signings as well as cleaning all touched surface (pens, copier, etc.). Buyers and Sellers are kept separate and the number of people in a signing is limited to only the necessary signors. The building courtyard makes social distancing as pleasant as can be under the circumstances.
The importance of using a law firm and having attorney representation at your closing is even more important under these current circumstances. Please do not hesitate to contact our office as every file and situation is unique. We continue to provide legal advice to our clients, alternative ideas, resolve conflicts, work on possible addendums and extensions needed.
We have found that meeting the contract timelines may be more difficult now. FAR has published a COVID-19 addendum which can be accessed in Forms Simplicity or by our office. This should be used if you believe that a timeline may not be met because of COVID-19. Please feel free to contact our office if you need any clarification or questions about the content and potential use of this addendum.
We appreciate your business, loyalty, continued support and patience during this time. Our #1 priority continues to be exceptional customer service.
On behalf of all of us at The Roknich Law Firm, we wish you, your families, friends and clients a healthy safe journey through the COVID-19 pandemic.

What's Trending: Solar Company Liens
Shedding some "light" on what is occurring with solar panel companies and their contracts.
Recently our office has encountered solar panel company liens that are attaching to the seller's property. This presents title and closing issues because the solar companies are recording liens against the properties or attaching a line item payoff onto seller's property taxes. Of course, a recorded lien must be paid prior to a seller closing their sale. In some cases, the contracts can be assumed or assigned. Current owners should read the solar contracts very carefully. Assign-ability is not easy or automatic. A buyer may have to file a new application for the assumption. The solar finance company may be resistant to allowing a new customer to take out a new loan since the finance company may prefer to receive full payment at closing instead. Our experience has been that the solar panels can be expensive and the loan may be an interest only type loan. Payoff amounts could be quite high. When the line item payoff is added to a seller's property tax bill, this becomes a priority lien and moves into a first position payoff coming before an existing mortgage payoff. If a buyer is obtaining mortgage financing and is interested in assuming the solar panel loan, he or she should discuss all requirements with their lender. When taking a listing, be sure to ask the owner about any current solar panel contracts or any other similar type of contracts they may have pending. In representing your buyer, be sure to inquire with the listing agent about any active contracts the seller may have open before you place your offer.
