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.

Very straightfoward and simple process. The submission of my artifact was completed within a half hour. The best part for me was the coverage/service-area that it included my jurisdiction

I was counting on deeds.com to help me with a closing I was working on. I stumbled with the instructions but when I recovered there were no problems. The instructions were helpful and the deeds etc. were just what I needed. I give deeds five stars. I am 76 years old and when the application asks for the user's name I always think they want my name. WRONG. I am trying to learn computer speak.
Thank you Alfred, have an amazing day!

I needed to create a deed of distribution for my probate case. The instructions as to what was needed on the caption page was lacking. Because of the lack of information I still had to have an attorney review the documents as I didn't feel confident in the instructions given.
Thank you for your review. Our deed of distribution package is designed as a strong primer to help people understand the process and prepare accurate documents. That said, probate filings can involve details that vary by court and jurisdiction.
We’re glad you sought attorney review when you weren’t completely sure—that’s exactly what we recommend. We always encourage customers to work with a qualified legal professional if they are not absolutely confident, since accuracy and acceptance are what matter most.
