What you'll need
Read the packet and check the receiving agency's required form.
Gather the names, dates and supporting records requested in this document.
Bring acceptable identification and any witnesses required by the packet.
How to complete it
Fill in the top box (Page 1) Enter who prepared the document, the return address, and the parcel ID number. Leave the box at the top right blank for the Clerk.
Parties, loan, and property (Pages 1–2) Name the mortgagor (borrower) and mortgagee (lender), and describe the note and property.
Sign before two witnesses and a notary (Page 3) Florida requires two witnesses for conveyances of real property, with their printed names and post office addresses. We can provide witnesses for an additional fee. Bring a current, government-issued photo ID.
Record the original with the Clerk of the Circuit Court (official records) in the county where the property is located.
Florida documentary stamp tax and intangible tax are due when a mortgage is recorded.
Pair it with a signed Promissory Note. Homestead and consumer loans have additional rules; talk to an attorney.
Explain the note, claimed ownership and circumstances of its loss. This Florida affidavit alone does not establish every condition for enforcing a debt or releasing its recorded security.
Set out principal, payment dates, interest and other loan terms in the Florida note. Have interest, fees and security arrangements reviewed; notarization does not establish enforceability.
When a Florida mortgage is paid off, the holder signs this satisfaction so the Clerk can cancel the mortgage of record. Private lenders and family loans often need it.
