Hale Law Services

What Hale Law Services does

Hale Law Services operates as Hale Law and Title, P.A., a Florida professional association law firm founded in 1997 and headquartered in Estero, with offices in Babcock Ranch (Punta Gorda) and Bonita Springs. The firm is a solo-practitioner boutique led by Ned Hale, a University of Chicago graduate and Florida Bar Board Certified real estate attorney with 29 years of experience, supported by an assistant or paralegal. Its core legal services are organized along three lines: real estate law (transaction representation, litigation, and in-house title services concentrated in Babcock Ranch and Southwest Florida); estate planning (wills, basic trusts, Lady Bird or Transfer on Death Deeds, powers of attorney, living wills, and health care surrogate designations); and probate avoidance (legal strategies and instruments designed to transfer assets outside the probate process).

Service delivery is built around a flat-fee, productized estate planning menu (Lady Bird Deed $475, Basic Trust $575, Will $175, Power of Attorney $100, Living Will $100, and Health Care Surrogate $100), combined with transaction-based legal fees for real estate closings and title work. There is no proprietary technology platform; the firm uses standard legal practice tools, in-house title search capability, and Zoom plus telephone for remote appointments alongside in-person office visits. Customer segments are individual consumers and small entities in Southwest Florida, including property owners, buyers and sellers, families needing estate planning, and a narrower base of real estate professionals served through Hale's position as attorney for a large Realtor Board in the region. Revenue is generated per engagement on a one-time or transaction basis with publicly disclosed fixed pricing on the core estate planning products.
