FAQ
A warranty deed makes a promise to the buyer that the seller has good title to the property. A quitclaim deed, on the other hand, makes no promises. A quitclaim deed just says; whatever interest I have in this property, I give to you.
In some cases, a deed without warranties may be better than a quitclaim deed because a quitclaim deed, as a matter of law, gives notice to the grantee that there might be other claims on the property. That makes it harder to protect against those claims, should they arise.
You do not have to be an attorney to prepare a Florida quitclaim deed. Absent attorney fees, your costs would only be the recording fees that the county comptroller charges and transfer fees if the property is mortgaged.

It's safer to use a warranty deed any time you are not entirely sure of your or someone else's ownership stake in any property. If you are transferring a property to your child or to a revocable trust agreement as part of an estate plan, then a quitclaim deed could do the trick.

No, a warranty deed does not prove ownership. A title search is the best way to prove that a grantor rightfully owns a property. The warranty deed is a legal document that offers the buyer protection. In other words, the property title and warranty deed work in tandem together.
General Warranty Deed — A Warranty Deed is the most common type of deed used in Florida real estate transactions.
General warranty deeds: A general warranty deed provides the most protection to the buyer but gives the grantor the highest degree of liability. The grantor of a general warranty deed fully warrants good, clear title to the property.
