florida quiet title attorney: QUIET TITLE TO ELIMINATE YOUR MORTGAGE - FLORIDA STATUS - 07/15/15 01:02 PM
The magic wand of quieting the title to eliminate your mortgage on your Florida property has had a wild if not consistent ride – downhill.  Whether being free of your mortgage is fact or fantasy, reality or hype, or just plain magic will soon be decided by the Florida Supreme Court.
