What Is a Florida Quitclaim Deed?

A Quitclaim Deed is a deed used to transfer whatever ownership interest a grantor currently has in a piece of real estate to another person or entity.

Unlike a Warranty Deed, a Quitclaim Deed generally does not provide warranties concerning the quality of the title being transferred.

In simple terms, the grantor is transferring his or her existing interest in the property without promising that no other title problems exist.

Florida now provides a statutory form for Quitclaim Deeds under Section 689.025, Florida Statutes. The statute requires the deed to identify the grantor, grantee, consideration, county, and legal description of the property, among other information.

Quitclaim Deeds are commonly used when the parties already understand the ownership history and are not looking for the title warranties typically associated with a conventional real estate sale.

Common Reasons to Use a Quitclaim Deed in Tallevast

Add a Spouse to a Deed

A homeowner may want to add a husband or wife to the title after marriage.

A new deed is generally required to change property ownership. The Manatee County Clerk specifically notes that adding or removing names from a deed requires preparation and recording of a new deed.

Remove a Former Spouse

Quitclaim Deeds are frequently used following divorce when one former spouse is transferring his or her interest in jointly owned property to the other.

A divorce decree by itself should not be assumed to automatically update the recorded deed.

Transfer Property to a Family Member

Parents may transfer property to children, siblings may transfer interests between one another, or another family transfer may be completed through a deed.

Add or Remove a Co-Owner

Property owners may want to change who appears on title because of marriage, divorce, estate planning, family arrangements, or another ownership change.

Transfer Property Into a Trust

A deed may be used to transfer real property from an individual owner into the trustee of a trust.

Trust transactions can have legal and estate-planning consequences, so customers who need advice regarding whether property should be transferred into a trust should consult an attorney.

Transfer Property Into an LLC

A property owner may sometimes want to deed real estate into a limited liability company.

Because mortgage, tax, homestead, lender, liability, and estate-planning issues can arise, customers should obtain professional legal or tax advice when those issues are relevant.

Quitclaim Deed vs. Warranty Deed in Florida

One of the most important differences between these deeds involves title warranties.

Quitclaim Deed

A Quitclaim Deed transfers the grantor's existing interest without providing the same title guarantees normally associated with a Warranty Deed.

It is commonly used for:

• Family transfers

• Transfers between spouses

• Divorce-related transfers

• Adding or removing owners

• Gifts

• Transfers involving trusts or entities

Warranty Deed

A Warranty Deed generally contains warranties relating to the grantor's title.

It is more commonly associated with traditional sales where the buyer expects greater assurances regarding ownership.

Special Warranty Deed

A Special Warranty Deed generally offers more limited warranties than a General Warranty Deed.

Which deed should be used can involve legal considerations. As nonlawyer document preparers, we can prepare the deed selected by the customer but cannot advise someone which form of conveyance is legally best for their individual circumstances.

Is It Called a Quitclaim Deed or Quick Claim Deed?

The correct term is:

Quitclaim Deed

People frequently search online for:

• Quick Claim Deed

• Quickclaim Deed

• Quick Claim Deed Florida

• Quick deed

• Quick claim property transfer

But the legal term used in Florida law is Quitclaim Deed.

Florida Statute §689.025 specifically identifies the prescribed form as a quitclaim deed.

Florida Quitclaim Deed Requirements

Florida deeds have specific execution and recording requirements.

Written Deed

A transfer of an interest in Florida real estate generally must be made through a written instrument.

Two Witnesses

Florida Statute §689.01 generally requires an instrument transferring an interest in real property to be signed by the grantor in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

Notarization / Acknowledgment

A deed intended for recording is generally acknowledged before a notary public or other authorized officer.

Legal Description

Florida's statutory Quitclaim Deed form requires the legal description of the property to appear in the deed.

A street address should not be treated as a substitute for the full legal description.

Parcel Identification Number

Florida's statutory Quitclaim Deed provisions also call for space for the property's parcel identification number, if available.

Recording Information

Florida law contains additional recording-format requirements, including printed names and addresses of signers and witnesses and designated blank space for the clerk's recording information.

How Our Quitclaim Deed Preparation Process Works

Step 1 — Send Us Your Property Address

We research the current deed, which is typically the best starting point because it contains important property information, including:

• Current owners

• Vesting

• Legal description

• Parcel information

• Prior recording information

Step 2 — Complete Our Questionnaire

You provide the information necessary to prepare the new deed, including:

• Who is transferring the property

• Who will receive the property

• Mailing addresses

• Property address

• Ownership percentages when applicable

• Requested form of ownership

• Other information needed for the document

Step 3 — We Prepare the Quitclaim Deed

We prepare the document from the factual information you provide.

Step 4 — Review the Draft

You review names, addresses, legal description, and other factual details before execution.

Step 5 — Sign With Two Witnesses and a Notary

The grantor executes the deed using the formalities required for a Florida real estate conveyance.

Step 6 — Record the Deed in Manatee County

Once properly executed, a deed affecting Tallevast property can be submitted to the Manatee County Clerk of Court for recording in the Official Records.

Recording a Quitclaim Deed in Manatee County

Because Tallevast is in Manatee County, deeds affecting Tallevast property are recorded in Manatee County's Official Records.

The Manatee County Clerk currently allows recording:

• In person

• By mail

• Through approved electronic recording providers

For in-person or overnight delivery:

Manatee County Clerk of Court
Recording Department
1115 Manatee Avenue West
Bradenton, FL 34205

For regular mail:

Manatee County Clerk of Court
Attn: Recording
P.O. Box 25400
Bradenton, FL 34206

The Clerk states that mailed documents should include the appropriate fees and a self-addressed envelope. Documents may also be electronically recorded through approved vendors.

Manatee County Quitclaim Deed Recording Fees

The Manatee County Clerk currently lists standard recording fees of:

First page: $10.00

Each additional page: $8.50

If an instrument contains more than four indexed names, an additional $1.00 per name applies.

These recording charges are separate from any applicable documentary stamp taxes.

Florida Documentary Stamp Tax on Quitclaim Deeds

Recording fees and documentary stamp taxes are different.

Manatee County currently lists the documentary stamp tax rate on deeds and other instruments relating to Florida real property at:

$0.70 per $100 of consideration

However, calculating taxable consideration can involve factors beyond simply asking whether cash changed hands.

Existing mortgages, assumed obligations, gifts, transfers between spouses, entity transfers, and other circumstances may affect the tax analysis.

The Manatee County Clerk directs questions concerning whether documentary stamp tax is due to the Florida Department of Revenue.

We can prepare documents using the consideration information supplied by the customer, but we do not provide tax advice.

Does a $0 or $10 Quitclaim Deed Mean There Is No Documentary Stamp Tax?

Not necessarily.

A deed may recite nominal consideration such as $10 and other good and valuable consideration, but that language alone does not determine whether documentary stamp tax is due.

Florida documentary stamp tax can depend on the actual consideration associated with the transfer.

If there is an outstanding mortgage, debt assumption, payment, or another form of consideration, tax consequences may differ.

For tax-specific questions, consult the Florida Department of Revenue, a CPA, title company, or Florida attorney.

Can I Remove Someone From a Deed in Tallevast?

A person's name generally cannot simply be erased from an existing recorded deed.

A new deed must be prepared and recorded to create the ownership change.

The Manatee County Clerk specifically identifies adding or removing names, making corrections, and transferring property into a trust or LLC as examples of deed changes requiring preparation and recording of a new deed.

For example:

Current deed: John Smith and Jane Smith

New desired ownership: Jane Smith only

John may execute a deed transferring his interest according to the intended transaction.

The precise deed and vesting should reflect the transaction the parties intend.

Can I Add My Spouse to My House Deed?

Yes, adding a spouse generally involves preparing and recording a new deed.

For example:

Current owner: Jane Smith

Desired owners: Jane Smith and John Smith

A new deed can transfer the appropriate interest into the desired ownership.

However, the manner in which married couples hold title can have legal consequences. If you need advice about tenancy by the entirety, survivorship rights, homestead, creditor protection, divorce consequences, or estate planning, consult a Florida attorney.

Can I Add My Child to a Quitclaim Deed?

A parent can transfer an ownership interest through a deed, but adding a child as a present owner is very different from naming a child to receive property after death.

Adding someone to a conventional deed may give that person a present ownership interest.

If your primary goal is:

“I want my child to receive my Florida home after I die while I keep control of it during my lifetime,”

you may instead want to learn about a Florida Lady Bird Deed / Enhanced Life Estate Deed.

We also prepare Florida Lady Bird Deeds.

Quitclaim Deed vs. Lady Bird Deed

These documents accomplish different things.

Quitclaim Deed

Usually transfers an ownership interest now.

Common uses include:

• Adding a spouse

• Removing a former spouse

• Transferring to another owner

• Gifting real estate

• Transferring into certain entities or trusts

Lady Bird Deed

Generally creates an enhanced life estate and names a remainder beneficiary intended to receive the property after the owner's death while allowing the owner to retain significant lifetime control.

If your objective is probate avoidance rather than a present ownership transfer, the distinction can be important.

Quitclaim Deed After Divorce in Tallevast

Divorce is one of the most common reasons for preparing a Quitclaim Deed.

A divorce judgment or marital settlement agreement may state that one spouse is to receive the home.

However, if both spouses remain on the recorded deed, a new deed may still be necessary to update the public ownership record.

The deed transfer and any mortgage obligation are separate issues.

Important:

Removing a person's name from a deed does not necessarily remove that person from a mortgage loan.

A lender controls whether a borrower can be released from loan liability.

Does a Quitclaim Deed Remove Someone From the Mortgage?

No — not automatically.

A deed concerns ownership of real estate.

A mortgage or promissory note concerns loan liability.

Someone can transfer his or her ownership interest and potentially remain obligated on a mortgage.

If mortgage liability is part of the transaction, contact the lender and obtain appropriate legal or financial advice before proceeding.

Can I Quitclaim Property to My LLC?

A deed can be used to transfer property to an LLC, but this type of transaction deserves additional consideration.

Potential issues can include:

• Existing mortgages

• Due-on-sale provisions

• Homestead status

• Property taxes

• Documentary stamp tax

• Insurance

• Asset protection

• Estate planning

We can prepare the deed based on the instructions you provide, but we do not advise whether transferring property to an LLC is legally or financially appropriate.

Can I Quitclaim Property Into a Living Trust?

A deed can also be used to transfer property to the trustee of a living trust.

For example:

John Smith, individually

may transfer real estate to:

John Smith, Trustee of the John Smith Revocable Living Trust dated January 1, 2026

The exact wording depends on the information supplied by the customer and the trust.

Does a Quitclaim Deed Transfer the Mortgage?

A Quitclaim Deed transfers whatever property interest the grantor conveys.

It does not automatically transfer or extinguish a mortgage loan.

If a mortgage exists, consult the lender regarding its requirements.

Does a Quitclaim Deed Prove Clear Title?

No.

A Quitclaim Deed itself does not provide the same warranties found in a Warranty Deed and does not substitute for a title search.

If title quality, liens, ownership disputes, or other title defects are a concern, consider working with a title company or Florida real estate attorney.
