Quitclaim Deed Florida: Fill & Download for Free

What agreement is needed to buy out my partner after a quick claim deed in Florida?I do not practice in Florida and am not admitted in Florida. I do not know Florida law. I suggest you consult a Florida lawyer on the basis of a detailed and CONFIDENTIAL statement of your situation, for actual legal advice, not seek random responses from fellow Quorans on a public forum based on an extremely sketchy statement of your facts.That said, as long as you’re here anyway, the term is “QUIT” claim deed, not “quick” claim. It means the grantor — the person giving you the deed (which you must then record with the land records office in your county, usually accompanied by paying a fee) — “quits” any claim he has or may have to that piece of property, in favor of other rightful claimants (such as yourself). A “quitclaim” deed is to be distinguished from a “warranty” deed, in that the grantor of a quitclaim deed gives you NO PROMISES or guarantees that he has ANY colorable interest in the property in question AT ALL. The scammers who “sold” greenhorns the Brooklyn Bridge, back in the day, used quitclaim deeds. They didn’t make OR BREAK any promises, so they were not committing fraud and got away with it.Hopefully this will not apply if the facts of your situation are that you and your partner (did you mean DOMESTIC partner? Or BUSINESS partner?) are BOTH on the title deed of the property, as either Tenants In Common (TIC) or as Joint Owners with Right of Survivorship (JWROS), meaning that YOU (and he) are already the legitimate claimants to that property, so that, by means of his giving you a quitclaim deed, you will become the SOLE legal owner of the property. That’s the only situation in which I would recommend you pay anybody any money for a “quitclaim” deed.What kind of contract do you need? That depends on how you want to do the transaction. If you plan to finance the deal through a third party bank, or make installment payments directly to him, I STRONGLY advise you to use a local real estate lawyer to handle this transaction and draw up a contract. The few hundred dollars this is likely to cost will be money well spent to avoid major headaches (and possibly huge monetary losses) down the road if you screw up some apparently insignificant detail.If you are just going to give him “cash on the barrelhead” for his interest, though, and have reached an agreed and fair price, and get a form quitclaim deed from a legal-forms site that appears to do what you want, you MIGHT be able to do this without a lawyer, so long as nothing unusual in your fact situation requires something different than the plain-vanilla boilerplate deed form you can get from such a site. That’s what you pay a lawyer for — not just to draft boiler plate, which is the easy part, but to give you his EXPERTISE in knowledge and experience to see if you need anything ELSE to avoid disaster down the road.The “do it yourself” approach is a bit like changing your own oil, in your car. It’s not that hard, but if you took it to a mechanic he or she might discover some other major problem that needs fixing, and be able to fix it before it’s too late. You don’t want to wind up stranded by the side of the road because your timing belt should have been changed at your last oil change, and you forgot about it or didn’t even know it existed.Good luck!This answer is not a substitute for professional legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship, nor is it a solicitation to offer legal advice.

Can a married person buy a house alone in Florida?A married person can buy a house as his/her “sole and separate” property in any state.In community property states, and some of the others, the non-owning spouse must sign an acknowledgement surrendering any rights to the property as a marital asset. Here in Nevada, the spouse just signs a quitclaim deed as part of the closing process.

A “quit claim deed” is not technically transferring property in general. It’s basically a document stating that the person writing it as a seller is saying he “renounces” any claim and ownership of the property.That doesn’t necessarily means he owned it or controlled it to begin with.
