No Place Like Home

White Picket Fence with House in Background

No Place Like Home is a pre-disaster pro bono project that helps low-income homeowners in Florida clear title to their homes through probate, quiet title actions, preparation and filing of corrective documents or administrative process involving mobile home titles.

The Florida Bar’s Real Property Probate and Trust Law Section (RPPTL) has partnered with No Place Like Home since 2015. RPPTL members provide training and mentor assistance to volunteer attorneys; assist with recruitment; and provide pro bono representation to eligible clients.

I am thrilled to help clients obtain clear title to their homes through Bay Area Legal Services and No Place Like Home. Providing my clients with the security of a home is very meaningful. All attorneys are called to participate in pro bono work, and I have found it to be a rewarding and enriching part of my professional development.
