Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

home loan

what forms do I need to file to record a lien against a home in the st of FLorida? I loaned the money to my grandson for the purchase of a home. I now need to register a lien or mortgage showing he owes me the money. Not sure if it is a lein or mortgage. Would I be the mortgagor or mortgagee? I did have to sign a quik claim deed to have my name removed from the title due to an err at the time of closing.
