Despite the current global geopolitical context, the business world continues to thrive in Florida. Here is some information of interest.
Title prevention, insurance, and property monitoring
At the Natbank conference last February, Christine Marchand-Manze, founder of Galaxy Title & Escrow, emphasized that it is recommended to register your information with the county so that you can be alerted in the event of fraud on your title, in order to prevent fraudulent title transfers. Here are the links to register your information in Palm Beach and Broward counties.

Martin Rivard, president of Gallagher Insurance, emphasized the importance and particularities of insurance in Florida. When it comes to home insurance, it is recommended that you not be negligent in the face of any problem, such as water damage, for example. This is why it is important to have your property monitored while you are away from Florida by experts such as Joseph Paquet Lamothe, Vice President of SCL Bouchard Surveillance. Working with a certified team in Florida that takes photos and provides regular reports while you are away makes it much easier to file a claim with your insurer. Not only will you have solid evidence to present, but you will also show that you reacted immediately, without being negligent.
