Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

The answer largely depends on whether there was real estate (land) involved in the transaction, and the type of contract you entered into with the purchaser. You should take some time to consult in person with a local attorney who handles these matters. If you file the wrong type of action you could seriously jeopardize your rights and claims. Not to mention incurring additional costs on your end.

If you incorrectly file an action to recover the property and the other person is successful in getting the case dismissed because of it, then you could owe "his" attorney fees as well as the cost of filing the action correctly. This is definitely a situation that you don't want to enter into without legal counsel.
