[FL] What are the signing and recording requirements for a quit claim deed in Florida?
Hi there. I just created a quit claim deed to add myself onto the home deed that is currently only in my wife's name. Is there a way to have my draft reviewed?

In Florida, a deed must be properly acknowledged by a notary public. The acknowledgment verifies that the Grantor (the person transferring the property) has signed the deed willingly (FL Stat § 695.03).
You need to make sure that you sign this deed in front of a notary with your two witnesses (FL Stat § 689.01(1)). Once that is all completed, you bring this to your County recording office, and they will record it for you. There will be a small fee to record it, which is usually under $50; it is $10 for the first page and $8.50 for each additional page.

I understand you're looking to have your quit claim deed reviewed. Have you already had a real estate lawyer look over the draft?
I have not.
Lexi, Chatbot
Are there any specific concerns or details in the quit claim deed that you would like the real estate lawyer to pay close attention to?
Not specifically. I just want to make sure I have it listed correctly.

Is there anything else the Real Estate Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with your deed draft.
No.

Is the deed only 1–2 pages? I assume it is short.
4 pages including the notary page and legal description page.

Okay, typically document review is a premium service, but I can do it for a very short basic deed at no extra charge. That is really only 1–2 pages of actual content. Please do attach it here.
