A collateral contract is one where the parties to one contract enter into or promise to enter into another contract. Thus, the two contracts are connected and it may be enforced even though it forms no constructive part of the original contract.
The collateral contract is usually made to induce one of the parties to enter into the main contract. For example, if a person is buying a car from a dealer, the dealer may make a collateral contract with the buyer to provide a warranty for the car.
Examples of collateral documents are a security agreement, guarantee and collateral agreement, pledge agreement, deposit account control agreement, securities account control agreement, mortgage, and UCC-1s.
A collateral contract is a contract to enter into an future contract. Part of the consideration for the collateral contract is the promise to enter into the second contract. This is similar to a conditional contract whereby the consideration for one party is conditioned on the other party doing something.
A person can file a quitclaim deed by (1) entering the relevant information on a quitclaim deed form, (2) signing the deed with two witnesses and a notary, and (3) recording the deed at the county comptroller's office. In Florida, quitclaim deeds must have the name and address of both the grantor and the grantee.

Only a properly executed and recorded deed gives you title to a property in Florida, but not all deeds do this in the same way. A Quitclaim Deed is a very particular type of deed that should only be used with the expertise and advice of an attorney.
