FLORIDA REAL ESTATE ATTORNEYS
A recent wave of cases involving fraudulent deeds has surfaced at my office. Deeds that call into question the rightful owner of the property. In order for a Quit Claim Deed or Warranty Deed to be valid in Florida, certain requirements pursuant to Florida Statutes must be met:
A deed to convey property in Florida must have:
- Legal Description of the property for which the Power of Attorney will be used
- Signed by Grantor
- Two Witnesses
- One Notary
- Conveyance language
- Not signed under duress or fraud
If any of these items are missing, then the Warranty Deed or Quit Claim Deed can be declared null and void. It is not automatic however. If the Grantor suspects foul play or fraud, then it is up to him to bring a lawsuit against the party that committed the fraud in order to have the court enter a judgment declaring the deed void. Thereafter, awarding title back to the original grantor.
