Quit Claim Deed Attorney in St. Augustine, FL
Accurate deed preparation and recording for Florida property transfers — handled by experienced real estate attorneys at St. Johns Law Group.
What Is a Quit Claim Deed?
A Quit Claim Deed transfers whatever ownership interest the grantor has in a property to another person (the grantee) without warranties of title. That makes it ideal for low-risk transfers—such as between family members, spouses, or when consolidating ownership after a divorce—but less ideal when a purchaser expects clear title guarantees.
Common Uses in Florida
- Adding or removing a spouse from the title
- Transferring property between family members or into a trust
- Correcting or clearing minor title issues (e.g., name changes)
- Aligning title with an estate plan
Why Work With an Attorney?
Small deed errors can cause delays—or even invalidate a transfer. Our real estate team ensures your deed is drafted with the correct legal description, signing formalities (witnesses/notary), and county recording requirements. We also discuss tax and estate implications and whether another deed type (e.g., Warranty, Life Estate, or Enhanced Life Estate/Lady Bird) better fits your goals.
Our Process
- Consultation: We confirm your objectives and ownership structure.
- Drafting: We prepare the deed with accurate legal descriptions and vesting.
- Execution: We provide signing and notarization guidance.
- Recording: We submit to the county and provide recorded copies for your records.
