About this Florida form

What Is a Florida Quitclaim Deed?

A Florida quitclaim deed transfers only whatever interest the grantor has in the described Florida real property, if any, without title-warranty promises. It can fit selected known-party, family, divorce, trust, or title-clearing transfers, but it is not a substitute for title review and is usually not the preferred deed for an ordinary buyer-protected sale.

What Is Included After Checkout?

The Florida quitclaim deed package includes two editable Microsoft Word documents: the Florida Quitclaim Deed and a separate Florida Quitclaim 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 specifically intend no deed warranties and understand that the grantee receives no warranty protection from the grantor. Review title, lender, tax, homestead, spouse-joinder, and title-company issues before using a quitclaim deed.

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.

Quitclaim Deed vs. Warranty and No-Warranty Deeds in Florida

A Florida quitclaim deed gives no title warranties and only transfers the grantor's possible interest. A warranty deed gives broader warranty promises, a special warranty deed gives limited warranty promises, and a fee simple no-warranty deed conveys title while excluding deed warranties. Choose based on the intended warranty scope and transaction facts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Florida Quitclaim Deed Forms

Florida deeds generally require two subscribing witnesses and a notary acknowledgment for recording. Confirm execution details before signing.

No. A quitclaim deed is a no-warranty release-style deed. It does not promise that the grantor owns good title or that title is free of liens or defects.

Record the deed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court / county recorder in the Florida county where the real property is located.

The product includes the editable Florida Quitclaim Deed Word document and a separate editable Florida Quitclaim Deed Instructions and Recording Checklist Word document.

Florida homestead and spouse-joinder rules can require spouse participation even when only one spouse holds record title. Confirm required signers before signing or recording.

A quitclaim deed transfers whatever right, title, or interest the grantor may have in the property, if any. It does not include warranties about ownership or title condition, so the grantee accepts the title risk.

Quitclaim deeds are commonly used between parties who already know each other — for example certain family transfers, moving property into a trust, or adding or removing a name — where everyone understands there are no title warranties. They are often not the first choice for an arm's-length sale.

The packet includes the blank state-specific deed in editable Word format plus a separate completion instructions and checklist document. A completed sample PDF may be offered as an optional add-on.

Recording offices review formatting, execution requirements such as notarization, and any required supplemental forms or fees, which vary by county. The included instructions cover the general process; confirm your county's current requirements before you record.

It depends on your goals and how much title protection the grantee needs. Compare the deed types available for Florida before choosing, and consult a professional for advice on your situation.
