Re: Deed
Your father should sign a quitclaim deed before a notary conveying the property to you. The property must be described ( block, lot ). Use the old deed as a guide. The notary must have a raised seal affixed. The deed and a DB219 (Florida tax form) must be filed in the county in Florida where the land is with the appropriate fees. You can call the County Clerks office for a fee structure. Good luck.

Re: Deed
Provided there is no mortgage, complete a warranty deed and record it in the county where the land is located along with the Fla. Dept of Revenue form and the recoding fee.
