Real property — sometimes called immovable property or realty — includes land, buildings, and fixtures permanently attached to the land. Personal property covers movable items that are not fixed to the land, such as furniture or vehicles.
Florida deeds generally require the grantor's signature to be witnessed by two people and acknowledged before a notary public before the deed can be recorded. Always review the specific execution requirements for the deed type you are using.
A fee simple is the most complete form of ownership in real estate law — the owner holds full title with no conditions or limitations on inheritance or transfer. It is the most common form of ownership for residential property in Florida.
A landlord may make deductions from a security deposit for unpaid rent or damages beyond normal wear and tear, but Florida practice requires written notice to the tenant within a specific timeframe. Tenants who disagree with a deduction have a process to dispute it.
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of real property from one party to another. In Florida, it typically involves preparing and signing a deed, conducting a title search, obtaining title insurance, and recording the deed with the county.
