Relocating to Palm Beach County

If you are planning to relocate to Palm Beach County, a savvy and successful relocation plan involves a deep understanding of Florida’s laws as they pertain to corporate filings, taxes, employment law, estate planning, land use, homestead, commercial real estate, and more.

Particularly important in your transition to the Sunshine State is the process by which you declare Florida as your state of domicile. Failure to properly document your new domicile can have potentially negative consequences from your prior state of domicile and may cause delays in securing homestead exceptions and protections under Florida’s unique and favorable Homestead Act.

Our knowledge of life and business here is as insightful as it is wide-ranging and our skilled and highly respected attorneys serve as a preeminent resource for businesses and individuals throughout the state. With one of the highest percentages of Board Certified attorneys in Florida and six core practice groups working together for our clients, Jones Foster has the experience and knowledge necessary to guide clients around potential pitfalls and maximize the benefits of relocation. We are here to provide outstanding legal counsel, valuable industry insights, asset protection strategies, and support so that our clients are fully prepared to take advantage of all that South Florida has to offer.

Below is a list of local relocation resources, in addition to overviews of our service areas that may prove useful throughout your transition.
