Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
quit deed claims
My girl friend and I have joint ownership of some property. If I quit deed it to my daughter, will she be entitled to the same half as I would when and if the property is sold?

Yes, she will own your 1/2 of the property assuming that it is currently titled as tenants in common between you and your girlfriend. I would consult a real estate attorney before conveying any property.

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
From the facts you presented, it would seem likely. When you execute a Quit Claim Deed, you are giving up whatever interest you have to the other party. Of course, if there is more to this scenario that you have not disclosed, then the outcome may be different.
