Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Quitclaim deed

Can I transfer 50% of a home I own in Florida to my son and daughter-in law? Or do I have to transfer a third to each of them and maintain a third for myself?

If you are the fee simple owner of the real property, you can transfer it anyway you see fit. Generally, a Quit Claim Deed is prepared and executed. It must be recorded with the Clerk of the Court in the county where the property is located.
