Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Re: notarizing deed

The deed can be notarized by an out of state notary. You should prepare a deed specific to your needs and not use pre-printed forms.

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.

Yes, the deed can be executed, witnessed and notarized in more than one state.

Secondly, your situation illustrates how one form can not fit all situations. You will have to add a second notary clause on a second page if there is not room on the first page. Most lawyers do not use preprinted forms for deed preparation thus they do not have this problem.
