About this Florida form
A Florida warranty deed transfers Florida real property with broad statutory warranty language from the grantor, subject to the exceptions and facts stated in the deed. It is often the higher-protection deed path for ordinary sale transfers, but it does not replace title search, title insurance, lender review, tax review, homestead review, or transaction-specific legal advice.
The Florida warranty deed package includes two editable Microsoft Word documents: the Florida Warranty Deed and a separate Florida 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 transfer calls for warranty-deed treatment and the grantor intends to give warranty promises, subject to stated exceptions. Review title exceptions, mortgage/lender requirements, documentary stamp tax, homestead spouse joinder, and title-company requirements before signing.
A Florida warranty deed provides broader warranty protection than a special warranty deed, fee simple no-warranty deed, or quitclaim deed. Use the deed type that matches the intended warranty scope and transaction, and do not use a quitclaim deed or no-warranty deed merely because it seems simpler.

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

No. A deed changes title according to its terms; it does not release mortgage obligations or guarantee lender consent. Review due-on-sale, payoff, assumption, title, and insurance issues before recording.
Yes. Florida homestead and spouse-joinder rules can be important even when one spouse alone holds title. Use counsel or title-company review for homestead, marital, tax, lender, or title-insured transfers.
A warranty deed includes the grantor's warranty covenants — generally a promise that the grantor owns the property and will defend the title against claims, subject to any exceptions stated in the deed. It offers the grantee broader title protection than a quitclaim deed.
Warranty deeds are commonly used in arm's-length sales and other transfers where the grantee wants full title warranties from the grantor. Lenders and title insurers generally expect them for ordinary purchases.
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.
A warranty deed includes title warranties from the grantor; a quitclaim deed transfers only whatever interest the grantor may have, with no warranties at all. Compare the deed types available for Florida if you are unsure which fits your transfer.
