Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

The parties who are in title to the property can all sign a quit claim deed, to themselves and the new party. Be sure to file this at the county courthouse, and be sure that you tell them that it is not a "transfer" of ownership or this deed could uncap your taxes of affect homestead exemptions. Keep in mind that adding a name to a deed does not change the obligation of any borrower on the mortgage. A real estate attorney can handle this for you for a reasonable fee.

A new deed is prepared, executed and recorded. The problem is doing it correctly. If a mistake is made it can create a cloud on title and/or documentary taxes unnecessarily to be paid. In really bad cases, it can require a court proceeding to resolve it.

If you want to do a deed correctly, seek a real estate attorney to handle this matter. If I can be of service, please let me know. 954-752-1732.
