For Florida Notaries
Okay, I cannot find my handbook and have spent about an hour trying to find it on the net, but evidently I am looking in the wrong place. Can someone give me the link to the florida handbook? I am trying to quote that part that states that for a conveyance of property there must be two witnesses and the notary can be one. Thank you soooooooooooooo much. Monica

FL Statute 689.01 (Doesn't say the notary can be one though but the handbook says the notary can be a witness - it is under the Q&A section)
689.01 How real estate conveyed.—No estate or interest of freehold, or for a term of more than 1 year, or any uncertain interest of, in or out of any messuages, lands, tenements or hereditaments shall be created, made, granted, transferred or released in any other manner than by instrument in writing, signed in the presence of two subscribing witnesses by the party creating, making, granting, conveying, transferring or releasing such estate, interest, or term of more than 1 year, or by the party’s lawfully authorized agent, unless by will and testament, or other testamentary appointment, duly made according to law; and no estate or interest, either of freehold, or of term of more than 1 year, or any uncertain interest of, in, to, or out of any messuages, lands, tenements or hereditaments, shall be assigned or surrendered unless it be by instrument signed in the presence of two subscribing witnesses by the party so assigning or surrendering, or by the party’s lawfully authorized agent, or by the act and operation of law. No seal shall be necessary to give validity to any instrument executed in conformity with this section. Corporations may execute any and all conveyances in accordance with the provisions of this section or ss. 692.01 and 692.02.
