Questions answered? Let's get started!

Florida lets one spouse deed real estate directly to the other. Section 689.11 of the Florida Statutes validates a conveyance of real estate, including homestead, made by one spouse to the other, passes legal title to the grantee spouse, and states that the grantee need not execute the conveyance. No intermediary, no straw-man transfer, and only one signature line: the grantor's. This form pairs that rule with Florida's statutory quitclaim deed language, producing an interspousal deed built for the county recording counter.

The statutory quitclaim form, word for word

Since 2023, Florida has prescribed the text of a quitclaim deed. Chapter 2023-238, Laws of Florida, created Section 689.025, which prescribes the deed's text, a legible legal description, and a blank space for the parcel identification number. This form follows the statutory language exactly: the deed remises, releases, and quitclaims to the second party all the right, title, interest, claim, and demand which the first party has in and to the described parcel, together with its improvements and appurtenances. Those words convey whatever interest the grantor holds at delivery, and nothing more; a quitclaim deed carries no covenant or warranty of title.

Built around a married grantor and grantee

The deed recites that the grantor and grantee are married to each other and invokes Section 689.11, so the recorded instrument shows on its face why the grantee's signature is absent, even where the property is constitutional homestead. Interspousal transfers of this shape appear when record title is being consolidated in one spouse, when a marital or prenuptial agreement calls for a transfer. The form names one grantee alone, so it moves an interest into that spouse's sole name; a deed placing title in both spouses, or one creating a tenancy by the entirety, is a different structure that Section 689.11 also describes.

Documentary stamps: where the mortgage matters

Florida taxes deeds at 70 cents per 100 dollars of consideration (Miami-Dade County has its own rate structure), and consideration includes a mortgage on the property even when nobody assumes it. That rule reaches deeds between spouses, so a transfer of mortgaged property can be taxable on the share of the loan that travels with the interest conveyed. Section 201.02(7), Florida Statutes, carves out the transfers most interspousal deeds involve: homestead property moving between spouses with nothing but the existing mortgage as consideration is exempt, and so is a marital-home deed between spouses or former spouses pursuant to a dissolution of marriage. The guide walks through the computation and both exemptions.

Two witnesses, a notary, and the clerk's blank square

A Florida deed is signed before two subscribing witnesses and acknowledged before a notary, and since January 1, 2024, each witness's printed name and post office address belong on the instrument. The form carries dedicated witness blocks, a notary certificate with the physical presence or online notarization checkboxes Florida certificates now state, a preparer block, and the 3 inch by 3 inch space the clerk claims at the top right of the first page. The package includes the blank deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing a realistic Orange County transfer between spouses, and a plain-language guide that treats every blank, the homestead angle, and the recording costs; the materials are informational and are not legal advice.

Easy fill in the blanks form. Just FYI make sure you have a copy of whatever deed you are changing and the tax records. You will want the language to be identical.

Quit Claim deed for North Carolina did not include all of the information I needed (two separate notary sections), but I was able to re-create another notary section in Word, and then insert it in the appropriate place after printing both documents. Otherwise, the document worked as described.
