Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Quit claim deed?

My folks owned two residential lots in florida. Dad died in 75 , my mom in 93. In 1995 my sister and I decided to change the lots over to us so we had my moms estate probated in florida since we had been paying taxes on the lots for about the last ten years anyway. We now own the lots by order of summary of administration. Its states we each have an undivided half interest in the lots. We wish now to split them off. One to me and one to her. Can I just quit claim me off to her on one and her off to me on the other. I am single and she is married but her hubbys name is not on anything. Everyone is in agreement about this. Any advice?

Someday I will have to check to see if David Slater ever went to law school. Yes, quit-claim deeds from one to the other will work find. Just indicate on the deed that the property is not the homestead of the grantor. If you need any assistance let me know.
