Quit claim deed in Florida

Posted on: 03rd Apr, 2007 08:04 pm
i am about to sign a quit claim deed from a property that i just close to a llc company own by me and my business partner, we plan to pay everything 50 50. do i have to do something that legally obligates him to pay his half of the mortgage? i am under the impression that i will be the sole responsible for the mortgage.

thanks
Hi Fdo,

Welcome to the forums.

That's not the right impression that you have. Once you sign the quit claim, it will no be your sole responsibility to pay down the mortgage.

Your business partner has to pay off his part of the loan balance. You do not have to take any legal step and in case your partner is aware of it, do inform him.

Thanks,

Sara

"Do I have to do something that legally obligates him to pay his half of the mortgage? I am under the impression that I will be the sole responsible for the mortgage. "
If your business partner is co-borrower on the loan then it is his duty to continue paying his equal share of mortgage payments. He should understand that non-payments can result in defaults and have bad affect on credit score.

My son's xwife wants out of the mortgage for their house. She has offered to take a lump sum of money and quit claim the house to him. Will there be any Florida penalties/taxes/charges associated with doing this? The bank has already agreed to drop her name from the mortgage.

Hi Brenda,

If the bank has also agreed to remove her name from the mortgage then there should not be any problem with the title transfer.

There will be normal expenses associated with hiring an attorney and quit claim deed recording fees.

Hi Brenda,

For transferring the property in your son's name with a quitclaim deed, his ex-wife may have to pay the gift tax associated with property transfer. But your son should not worry as he will not have to make such tax payments. The charges that he will have to pay is for hiring the attorney a and recording the quitclaim deed.

Almost 7 years ago my mother put me on her deed,with right of survivorship and joint tenents...I live here and have taken care of her..now she got mad at me and says she's going to a lawyer to take me off the deed..Can she do that? We live in Florida

Hi Elaine,

As far as I know, joint tenancies may be revoked by any of the parties at any point of time. So there are chances that your mother will be able to revoke it. However, I would suggest you take the advice of a lawyer to be on the safer side.

Thanks,

Jerry

If I transfer our home to my wife only, would the property be subject to any liens from unsecured creditors with debt in my name only?

Is there now a tax on the recording of a quit claim deed now in the state of florida other than a nominal recording fee? In this case the husband is giving up his right to any claim of title. He is not named on the mortage. I am in duval county florida.

Hi jerrell,

You might have to pay documentary stamp taxes for recording the deed. However, it's better to get in touch with the county recorder's office as they can tell you exactly what taxes you need to pay at the time of recording the deed.

I live in Florida and want to add my son and his wife to our deed. Is there a way to do this with no tax consequences? I want the deed to be in all four of our names, i.e. my husband and me, my son and his wife. Thanks.
