FL NOTARY QUESTION

If a borrower is just signing an Interspousal Grant Deed do you have to have 2 witnesses?

Under Florida statute, any deed conveying real property must be witnessed by two witnesses. However, I do not believe that Florida uses the "Interspousal Grant Transfer Deed" that is common in California and a few other states. (I am not certain of this, but have never seen such an instrument here in Florida.)

What if title is in CA. and borrower is in FL. and the Interspousal GD was all she had to sign?

A better question would be...

Brws in FL property in CA. What is the witness requirement on CA Deeds?

Sorry, I can't answer your question. It's been over two years since I worked Title in Ca and that was a ordeal I'm glad to say I've dismissed from my mind.

Witness requirements (for deeds and mortgages) are based on where the property is located and where the deed will be recorded. If the property is in California, then one must follow California's witness requirements for recording. I do not believe that California requires witnesses on deeds.

Re: Paul is correct, we don't need witness in CA. nm
