Questions answered? Let's get started!

When a Florida trust sells real property, the deed comes from the trustee, and the covenant that deed carries is a drafting decision with statutory weight. This warranty deed for a trustee grantor pairs the two: the trustee of an identified trust conveys with the full warranty of the Florida statutory form, using the operative words "has granted, bargained and sold" and the covenant to fully warrant the title and defend it against the lawful claims of all persons whomsoever. Under Section 689.03, Florida Statutes, a deed substantially in that form takes effect as a warranty deed with full common-law covenants.

A Statutory Warranty, Signed in Trust Capacity

The warranty here reaches the whole chain of title, not only the period the trustee or the trust has owned the property. That is the difference between this covenant and the narrower conveyances Florida law recognizes: a quitclaim deed passes only whatever interest the grantor holds, with no covenant at all, and a special warranty deed limits the covenant to claims arising by, through, or under the grantor. The trustee signs in a representative capacity, and the deed recites the trustee's power to sell and convey, keyed to Section 689.073, the statute that lets a buyer or title examiner rely on powers conferred in a recorded instrument without inquiring into unrecorded trust terms or the beneficiaries.

Naming the Trust Defeats the Section 689.07 Trap

Florida attaches unusual consequences to the bare word "trustee" on a deed. Under Section 689.07, a conveyance to a grantee described only as trustee, with no named beneficiaries, no statement of the trust's nature and purposes, and no trust title and date, can vest a fee simple with full power to sell and encumber, as if no trust existed. This form is built around that rule from the opposite direction: it identifies the trust by name and by the date of the trust instrument and carries a recording reference for the instrument that vested title in the trustee, so the capacity in which the grantor conveys is plain on the face of the record.

Two Witnesses and a Representative Acknowledgment

Section 689.01 places two subscribing witnesses on a Florida deed conveying a freehold estate, and since January 1, 2024, the recording statute also asks for each witness name printed beneath the witness signature and a post-office address for each witness. The form carries dedicated witness blocks with those lines built in, followed by the statutory short-form acknowledgment for a representative capacity, complete with the physical presence or online notarization indication Florida notarial certificates now carry.

Documentary Stamps and the Recording Package

The clerk of the circuit court records the deed in the county where the property sits, and documentary stamp tax is collected at recording: 70 cents per $100 of consideration statewide, with Miami-Dade County on its own rate structure. The first page reserves the blank space the clerk's recording stamp requires, and the parcel identification number blank called for by Section 689.02(2) sits beside the legal description. The download includes the fillable deed with a removable instructions page, a completed example worked through an Orange County fact pattern, and a guide that walks each numbered section in order; the materials describe the form and the statutes behind it and are not legal advice.

I am a litigator based in Lee County that rarely needs to record deeds or mortgages. However, at times, the settlement or resolution of a dispute results in the conveyance of real property. I ended up in a situation where a deed to real property in Bradford County needed to be recorded on behalf of a client. My usual e-recording vendor does not include that County. Registering with Bradford County's regular e-recording vendor would have required an expensive and unnecessary annual fee. Deeds.com was easy to use, inexpensive and fast. I highly encourage its use, especially for lawyers that occasionally need to record instruments but do not do so regularly.

The product is as advertised. I was unable to navigate this process because It is complicated and I am concerned about doing it wrong. The law is written in stupid language to make it difficult for all and keep the layering business going. Its a solid form but did not work for me. Thanks Chris

Thank you for your feedback Christopher. Sorry to hear that we’re not comfortable completing the process. It is always best to seek the advice of a legal professional is you are not completely sure of what you are doing.
