Bradford County Quitclaim Deed (Corporation Grantor) Form

Florida wrote its quitclaim deed into statute in 2023. Section 689.025, Florida Statutes, created by the legislature's real property fraud act, prescribes the language that remises, releases, and quitclaims the grantor's interest and directs that a quitclaim deed follow that form in substance. This form applies the statutory language to a corporate grantor: the corporation named as first party conveys whatever right, title, interest, claim, and demand it holds in the described property, without any covenant or warranty of title, and the officer who signs does so in the corporation's name and on its behalf.

A statutory form, adapted for a corporate first party

The deed collects what the statutory form recites: the date of execution, the corporation's name, state or place of incorporation, and post office address, the grantee's name and post office address, the consideration, the county, and the legal description copied from the corporation's vesting deed. It also carries the blank the statute itself requires, a space for the parcel identification number; the statute states that omitting the number does not affect validity or recordability and that it never substitutes for the legal description. The operative Witnesseth sentence keeps the statutory words, joined by an express no warranty statement, a corporate capacity recital, and a successors and assigns clause.

How a corporation signs a Florida deed

Two statutes meet at the signature line. Section 689.01, Florida Statutes, sets Florida's general two witness formality for conveying a freehold interest, and since January 1, 2024, the recording statute requires each witness name printed beneath the witness signature and each witness post office address on the instrument. Section 692.01, Florida Statutes, separately lets a corporation convey by a sealed instrument signed by its president, a vice president, or chief executive officer, with no recorded resolution needed. This form carries the two witness execution, so the recorded deed satisfies the general conveyancing statute on its face, with or without a seal. The acknowledgment follows the statutory corporate short form of Section 695.25(2), naming the officer and title, the corporation, and its state of incorporation, on behalf of the corporation, with the physical presence or online notarization statement Florida certificates now carry.

What a quitclaim from a corporation carries to the record

A quitclaim deed conveys only the interest the grantor has, if any, which makes it a common instrument between related parties: a corporation deeding to a shareholder in a wind up, transfers between affiliates, or a deed releasing a partial or doubtful interest to clear the record. Florida's recording act adds a point specific to this deed type: Section 695.01(2) deems grantees by quitclaim deed bona fide purchasers without notice within the recording act. At the counter, the Clerk of the Circuit Court records the deed and collects the documentary stamp tax of Section 201.02, computed on the consideration as the tax law defines it, including any encumbrance on the property. The first page reserves the 3 inch by 3 inch clerk space, and the deed carries the preparer and grantee address data the recording statute lists.
