Florida quit claim deed form or FL quitclaim deed, is a real property deed which transfers (conveys) only that interest in the property in which the grantor has title. Florida quit claim deeds do not guarantee good title to the property. Using a "quit claim" deed makes no guarantee or promise that the seller (Grantor) has legal ownership of the Florida real estate. In contrast, a warranty deed guarantees (warrants) that the seller has legal title to the FL property. Use a warranty deed to transfer property into or out of a living trust.
The most frequent use of a Florida quit claim deed is between family members or persons known to each other. In addition, adding or removing a person from the property title is best accomplished with a quit claim deed.
