Not sure which Florida deed to use?

Start with the intended legal effect. A Florida warranty deed, special warranty deed, fee simple no-warranty deed, quitclaim deed, and Lady Bird / enhanced life estate deed serve different purposes. Do not choose a quitclaim or Lady Bird deed merely because it sounds simple, and do not treat Lady Bird planning as a statutory transfer-on-death deed.

Important Florida recording notes

  • Florida deeds are recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court / county recorder for the county where the real property is located; property in multiple counties can require recording in each county.
  • Florida deeds generally require the grantor to sign in the presence of two subscribing witnesses and to acknowledge the deed before a notary or other authorized officer.
  • Florida recording standards include first-page and later-page top-right blank-space requirements; do not remove or crowd the recording-space area when completing a deed.
  • Florida documentary stamp tax, mortgage surtax or intangible-tax issues, Miami-Dade treatment, recording fees, and exemption/consideration questions are separate from choosing the deed type.
  • Florida homestead, spouse joinder, title insurance, lender due-on-sale, HOA, trust, estate, Medicaid, and tax consequences can be fact-specific and may require professional review.
  • Florida does not have a general statutory real-property transfer-on-death deed product path here; Florida Lady Bird / enhanced life estate planning is a separate deed architecture with its own cautions.
  • Correction, easement, trustee, personal-representative, guardian, mineral, foreclosure, disputed-title, capacity, and other specialty deed issues are not currently offered here as separate Florida self-service products.
