  • Grantor: The person who establishes a trust and places property into it.
  • Real property: Land, and all immovable fixtures erected on, growing on, or affixed to the land.
A quitclaim deed of conveyance to real property or an interest therein must:

This Quitclaim Deed, executed this   (date)   day of   (month, year)  , by first party, Grantor   (name)  , whose post office address is   (address)  , to second party, Grantee   (name)  , whose post office address is   (address)  .

Witnesseth, that the said first party, for the sum of $   (amount)  , and other good and valuable consideration paid by the second party, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, does hereby remise, release, and quitclaim unto the said second party forever, all the right, title, interest, claim, and demand which the said first party has in and to the following described parcel of land, and all improvements and appurtenances thereto, in   (county)  , Florida:

  (Legal description)  

(2) Include the legal description of the real property the instrument purports to convey, or in which the instrument purports to convey an interest, which description must be legibly printed, typewritten, or stamped thereon.
(3) Include a blank space for the parcel identification number assigned to the real property the instrument purports to convey, or in which the instrument purports to convey an interest, which number, if available, must be entered on the deed before it is presented for recording. The failure to include such blank space or the parcel identification number does not affect the validity of the conveyance or the recordability of the deed. Such parcel identification number is not a part of the legal description of the property otherwise set forth in the instrument and may not be used as a substitute for the legal description required by this section.
