A deed is an instrument that a grantor uses to transfer fee title in real property to a grantee. In Florida, a written instrument is required to transfer title to real property (§ 689.01, Fla. Stat.).

In Florida, the form of deed that provides for certain common law warranties is the warranty deed (§ 689.03, Fla. Stat.).

In Florida, the most common types of deeds used by grantors to transfer fee title to real property are:
A warranty deed (also called a general warranty deed).
A special warranty deed (see Standard Document, Special Warranty Deed (FL)). A quitclaim deed (see Standard Document, Quitclaim Deed (FL)).

Florida law provides a statutory form only for the warranty deed, but its use is not mandatory and other forms are accepted (§§ 689.02 and 689.03, Fla. Stat.).

Other deeds used in Florida for specific circumstances, include: Estate planning deeds (for example, a life estate deed or a "Lady Bird" deed); Tax deeds; Deeds in lieu of foreclosure; and General Warranty Deed

The statutory form of warranty deed (§ 689.02, Fla. Stat).
Another form substantially complying with the statutory form (§ 689.03, Fla. Stat.).
