A deed is a legal instrument or document used to transfer the ownership of real estate. In order to be a valid transfer, the deed must adhere to the requirements set forth in the Florida Statutes. Whether you are retitling a property to your Living Revocable Trust, transferring it as a gift to a third party or making a distribution to a named beneficiary, it is imperative that the appropriate document and language are used to complete the transfer in accordance with your overall estate plan.
