About this Florida form

What Is a Florida Fee Simple Deed?

A Florida fee simple deed in this product is a no-warranty conveyance form for transferring Florida real property in fee simple, subject to the wording, reservations, and exceptions stated in the deed. It is different from a quitclaim deed because it is structured as a conveyance of title rather than only a release of possible interest, and it is different from a warranty deed because it excludes deed warranties.

What Is Included After Checkout?

The Florida fee simple deed package includes two editable Microsoft Word documents: the Florida Fee Simple Deed and a separate Florida Fee Simple Deed Instructions and Recording Checklist. The instruction file is separate so completion guidance is not accidentally recorded as part of the deed.

When This Florida Deed May Be Considered

This form may be considered when the parties intend a Florida fee simple conveyance with no deed warranties. It should be reviewed for title facts, warranty scope, homestead spouse joinder, documentary stamp tax, lender/title-company requirements, and whether a warranty, special warranty, or quitclaim deed is more appropriate.

Florida Recording and Completion Notes

  • Signing, witnesses, and notary: Florida deeds generally must be signed by the grantor in the presence of two subscribing witnesses and acknowledged before a notary or other authorized officer before recording.
  • Recording office: Record with the Clerk of the Circuit Court / county recorder for the Florida county where the property is located.
  • Legal description: Use the complete legal description from a reliable title source. A street address, parcel number, or property-appraiser summary is not a substitute.
  • Recording space: Florida recording standards include first-page and later-page top-right blank-space requirements; do not shrink or remove recording-space areas when completing the document.
  • Taxes and homestead: Documentary stamp tax, mortgage surtax or intangible-tax issues, Miami-Dade treatment, homestead spouse joinder, lender requirements, title insurance, and property-tax consequences can be fact-specific and should be reviewed before signing.

Fee Simple Deed vs. Quitclaim and Warranty Deeds in Florida

A Florida fee simple no-warranty deed conveys title while excluding deed warranties. A quitclaim deed releases only the grantor's possible interest, a special warranty deed gives limited warranty promises, and a warranty deed gives broader warranty promises. The deed label should match the intended legal effect.
