Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
quitclaim deed
I just bought a home in Lee County, FL and at my age of 66, I want to have a quitclaim deed for my son, who lives in this area also. What exactly is a quitclaim deed and how do I do this so he will be the owner if anything happens to me?
Thank you

Re: quitclaim deed
You should seek the services of a real estate lawyer located in Lee County. Ideally, a real estate lawyer who also practices estate planning. Such lawyer would be better able to advise you on how to protect your interests and secure the transfer of your home to your son in such a way so as to avoid problems in the future and minimize any tax liability associated with such transfer of property. A quitclaim deed is merely a written instrument designed to transfer title from one party to another party. If the transfer is being made by and between family for love and affection, then the costs involved are minimal. Seek the advice of a real estate lawyer in your county and good luck.
