Conveyance is by warranty deed. Mortgages are the customary security instruments.
ALTA policies are commonplace.
Buyers pay the escrow and closing costs, while county custom determines who pays for the title insurance.
Sellers pay the documentary tax.
Property taxes are payable annually.

Florida 
has no state income tax.

*Under Florida law, a widow or widower has the right to live in their deceased spouse’s house for the remainder of his or her life, even if the home is willed to someone else.   A Homestead Exemption exists for an owner’s residence in Florida. Florida’s exemption is unique because it lacks any monetary cap on the homestead protection, while other states which offer a homestead exemption usually place a limit on the valuation which can be protected.
