I purchase a Quit-Claim deed form from a Florida legal entity. The Quit-Claim deed is recorded in Orange County by the Comptroller's office. The Timeshare Resort company refuses to acknowledge the recording of the deed. They claim that Florida Law requires Four witnesses to the signatures for grantor instead of the standard two. The resort company also claims that Florida law states that the witnesses can not have the same last name of the Grantor. I beleive that the Resort is false in their assertions, since I purchased the Quit-Claim deed from a legal entity in Florida. Please advise.
Probably you will have to consult a attorney, who is famimliar with florida laws
Hi Denise,
As far as I know, Florida requires two witnesses in case of a quitclaim deed. Moreover, the witnesses could be the same for the grantor and the grantee but the grantor/grantee can't be the witness for the quitclaim deed. In my opinion, you should have a word with your real estate attorney and get to know the laws.
