Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Ouit Claim deed

My sister and I own 4 vacant lots. We each have 1/2 undivided interest. We have decided to divide off two lots to each of us. I was told by the county clerk to just get quit claim deeds and deed from me (grantor} to her (grantee) and vice versa from her to me. She is married and wishes to have her husband added with rights of survivorship so would I just show him as another grantee on the deed to her? Thanks in advance.

I would suggest you retain an atttorney in your area to assist in the transfers. Your question is not as simple as you would like it to be. You need to make sure the Husband signs off on the deed to transfer your sister's interest to you.

No. After you deed your interest to her, she needs to do another deed to her and her husband. She need not say "as joint tenants with right of survivorship", as there will automatically be a right of survivorship.
