Questions answered? Let's get started!

A Florida deed signed by a married owner often carries a second signature: the owner's spouse signs even though the spouse holds no record title. The reason sits in the Florida Constitution. Article X, Section 4(c) provides that the owner of homestead real estate, joined by the spouse if married, may alienate the homestead by mortgage, sale, or gift. This form is a warranty deed built around that rule: one married grantor conveys, and the grantor's spouse joins in the deed with a party section, a joinder recital, and a signature block.

Why the spouse signs a deed that names one owner

The joining spouse is not a grantee and takes nothing under the deed. Section 9 of the form states what the second signature accomplishes: the spouse joins in and consents to the conveyance and releases any interest, including any homestead interest, satisfying the constitutional joinder where the property is the grantor's homestead. Section 689.111, Florida Statutes, allows homestead to be conveyed through a power of attorney but does not dispense with the joinder of both spouses. Each signature carries its own acknowledgment certificate, so the grantor and the joining spouse can sign on different dates or in different states.

A statutory form with full common-law covenants

Florida has prescribed a warranty deed form since 1891. Section 689.02 supplies the operative words, by which the grantor has granted, bargained and sold the land to the grantee and the grantee's heirs and assigns forever, and the covenant by which the grantor fully warrants the title and will defend it against the lawful claims of all persons whomsoever. Under Section 689.03, a deed made substantially in that form carries the effect of a warranty deed with full common-law covenants. This form uses the statutory language verbatim, includes the parcel identification number blank of Section 689.02(2), and adds a subject-to section so recorded easements, restrictions, and current-year taxes can qualify the warranty.

Two witnesses, printed names, and post-office addresses

Execution in Florida takes more than a notary. Section 689.01 requires a deed conveying a freehold estate to be signed in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, and since January 1, 2024, Section 695.26(1)(c) has made each witness's printed name and post-office address a recording requirement. The form pairs each party signature with two witness blocks, and each acknowledgment follows the statutory short form of Section 695.25(1), with its physical presence or online notarization checkboxes. The first page reserves the 3 inch by 3 inch clerk space at the top right, with the preparer and return-address blocks at the top left.

Recording and the documentary stamp

The deed is recorded with the clerk of the circuit court of the county where the property is located, and documentary stamp tax under Section 201.02 is collected at recording, at 70 cents per 100 dollars of consideration everywhere but Miami-Dade, which has its own rate and surtax structure. The download includes the blank fillable deed, a completed example on a Sarasota County fact pattern, and a guide covering every section, the signing ceremony, and recording. The materials describe Florida law in general terms and are not legal advice.

I can't believe I haven't been using this service since inception. The only thing I would recommend is to allow us to delete an erroneous upload. I accidentally uploaded the same document twice but I saw no way for me to correct my mistake other than to send an email.

The forms that I downloaded from Deeds were perfect for what I needed. I even checked with a lawyer to see if the papers would work and she said yes.

The process was easy and reasonable. My only problem was that, when I filled out my form on the computer, the writing I did overlapped with the pre-written words on the form, so that I had to end up doing it by hand. I've used DEEDS before and have not had that problem.

Thank you for your feedback Cherene. We've emailed you for some followup regarding the issue you reported.

The information and instructions provided is thorough and great. But, the fill-in-the-blanks form does not work well and is very frustrating. The font size of the information I was adding on each individual line varies and is determined by the number of characters entered on that individual line. So the font size is different on each line. And the number of lines is fixed making it impossible to fill in the full legal name of the trust I needed to fill out the form for. My needs are somewhat unusual, but the form should have been designed to be flexible enough to handle it. A blank paper form would have been more useful.
