Purchased condo unit for commercial purpose in Florida. All documents were reviewed before closing by attorney.

Four years later, it was learned the plans referenced in my deed were never filed, therefore an access did not legally exist.

Who is at fault for failing to record the proper document? When would the statute of limitations start to resolve the matter?
How does a person get a Florida statute explained?

Thanks for answers.

Sincerely

Go talk to the attorney who represented you at the closing and insist s/he deal with this matter (for free). Are you sure the access doesn't exist? Make sure FL law requires easements to be recorded on the burdened property before you conclude you have no access. If you really don't have access, you can probably sue the seller for breach of the warranty deed - s/he sold you something s/he didn't own. Also, you might be able to file a claim with the ttle insurance company.

Good luck
