Re: DEED Ownership

You can use a quitclaim deed form which you can obtain on the internet or library.

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.

Use a Quit Claim Deed. Be sure to file a Department of Revenue Form DR 219 with it at the same time or the Deed will not be recorded by the clerk of the court.

Before doing so, you should understand all of the consequences of executing a Quit Claim Deed including the probable reassessment of your property for tax purposes.

I would strongly recommend that you use a Florida attorney to draft the deed properly. This would ensure its legalality. It can be done for a minimal cost.
