Cut Phone Deed For Free

Although you can make a quitclaim deed yourself, we suggest hiring a real estate lawyer to ensure your deed is done right and meets the legal and filing requirements for Flordia and the local country recorders office where the property is located.

To sell a home you received through a quitclaim deed, you will still need to transfer ownership using a warranty deed.

It typically costs about $10 to file a 1-page quitclaim deed in Florida. However, if the document is longer, you may be required to pay an additional $8.50 per page. Remember that this is just the filing fee and does not include the consideration paid for the property or any necessary taxes.

Quit claim deeds are legal documents used to transfer ownership, in whole or in part, from one person to another. Unlike other types of deeds, they do not provide warranties or protections that the interest being transferred is clear, marketable or even legally owned by the party purporting to transfer it.

You will need to provide the original signed and notarized document and payment for any applicable fees associated with the filing. Once your document is accepted and filed with the county register of deeds, you will receive a copy of your quitclaim deed.

A quit claim deed should be filed with the clerk of court in the county where the property is located. This will involve taking the deed to the clerk's office and paying the required filing fee (typically about $10 for a one-page quit claim deed).

In fact, taxes may be due on a quit claim deed even when the property is transferred between spouses. With such transfers, if the property is mortgaged, then tax is generally due on half of the outstanding balance.
