In Florida, quitclaim deeds are most often used to transfer property to one's family or a family LLC or estate planning trust.
Because of the lack of title guarantees, quitclaim deeds are most often used to transfer property between two parties who know and trust each other, such as family members.
Sign the quitclaim deed in the presence of a notary public, ensuring all parties involved also sign and date the document. Submit the completed and notarized quitclaim deed to the appropriate county registry office for recording. Keep a copy of the recorded quitclaim deed for your records.
A warranty deed does not prove ownership of property in Florida. The only way to ensure ownership is through a title search, which examines public records for any issues that could affect the ownership.
A warranty deed offers the strongest protection. It protects the party receiving the property title in case there turns out to be any issues with the title.
A warranty deed makes a promise to the buyer that the seller has good title to the property. A quitclaim deed, on the other hand, makes no promises. A quitclaim deed just says; whatever interest I have in this property, I give to you.
Obtaining a copy of a warranty deed in Florida is a relatively simple task. The first step would be to identify the county in which the subject property is located. Thereafter, a visit to that county's Clerk of Circuit Court website will produce all public records, such as property deeds, associated with the property.
It's the type of deed that offers the most buyer protection. When committing to a general warranty deed, the seller is promising there are no liens against the property, and if there were, the seller would compensate the buyer for those claims.
