[FL] Is it legally acceptable to have a quit claim deed for a property in Florida notarized in New Jersey?
Hello, I just prepared a Quit Claim Deed for real property in Florida. The Deed requires a notary. But the Grantor is located in New Jersey. Does the Deed need to be notarized by a Florida notary? If so, I'm afraid that will not be possible.

So legally, you're fine! The U.S. Constitution has something called the Full Faith and Credit Clause allowing you to seek a notary from any state. This basically means documents legally valid in one state are valid everywhere. This is also specifically stated in Florida law (FL Stat § 695.03(2)). I recommend notarize.com. It's cheap, fast, and easy.

I understand the situation with the Quit Claim Deed and the Grantor's location. Is the property located in Florida as well?
Yes.

Have you considered using a remote online notarization service for the notarization of the Quit Claim Deed?
Hmm... no. Tell me more.

Is there anything else the Real Estate Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with remote online notarization.
No. I just need the information.

Ok thanks! Just a few more questions. Have you explored any other options for notarization besides remote online services?
I'm not familiar with remote notarization services. And I need to know if that is acceptable to witness a quit claim grantor in New Jersey regarding a Florida property.

Okay, but can I just have a New Jersey notary stamp the document and then submit it to the Florida county clerk?
Legal Eagle
Yup! 100% It's totally legal.
Okay, thanks!
