At The Elliot Legal Group, P.A., we work to provide our clients with knowledge of how the laws affect them and the legal issues that they may need to address when dealing with matters such as business litigation, real estate transactions, and bankruptcy. The blogs we publish address these issues and offer helpful information, and we wanted to highlight the most-read blogs from the past year:

1. What Is the Status of Florida Evictions and Foreclosures Due to COVID-19? - The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to play a significant role in people’s lives, and those who have experienced financial difficulties may need to determine their options if they are facing a foreclosure on their mortgage or an eviction due to an inability to pay rent. 

2. How Can Florida’s Homestead Exemption Benefit Me? - Homeowners who file for bankruptcy will need to determine whether the equity they own in their home will be exempt from liquidation. This blog also looks at the tax exemptions that may be available to homeowners in these cases.

3. How Can Force Majeure Get Me Out of My Florida Contract? - A party to a contract may not be required to fulfill their contractual obligations if the contract includes a force majeure clause addressing issues such as natural disasters or public emergencies. This blog looks at whether a force majeure clause may apply in cases where a party has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

4. Is an Oral Business Contract Enforceable in Florida? - This blog looks at the legality and enforceability of verbal contracts as opposed to formal, written agreements.

7. What Is Breach of Fiduciary Duty in Partner or Shareholder Disputes? - Business litigation may address a person’s failure to uphold their duties toward a company and protect the interests of partners or shareholders.

8. As Florida Moratorium Ends, Financial Assistance Takes its Place - While protections against foreclosures and evictions had been put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, they eventually expired, putting some people at risk of being forced out of their homes. This blog looks at the options available in these cases that may allow people to receive assistance from the government.

9. How Do I Know if I Qualify for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy? - This blog looks at the means test used to determine whether a debtor can discharge their debts through Chapter 7 or whether they will need to pursue a debt reorganization through Chapter 13.
