About this Florida form
A Florida special warranty deed transfers Florida real property with limited warranty promises from the grantor, subject to the exceptions and wording stated in the deed. The warranty is narrower than a general warranty deed and is generally tied to claims by, through, or under the grantor rather than all title history.
The Florida special warranty deed package includes two editable Microsoft Word documents: the Florida Special Warranty Deed and a separate Florida Special Warranty Deed Instructions and Recording Checklist. The instruction file is separate so completion guidance is not accidentally recorded as part of the deed.
This form may be considered when a Florida transaction calls for limited warranty treatment, such as selected commercial, REO, fiduciary, entity, or title-company-directed transfers. Confirm the deed's exact warranty scope, exceptions, authority, homestead, lender, tax, and title-company requirements before signing.
A Florida special warranty deed gives limited warranty promises and is narrower than a general warranty deed. It is not the same as a fee simple no-warranty deed or quitclaim deed, both of which are no-warranty paths. Use the deed type that matches the intended warranty scope.
