AI Summary

  • Creates Section 694.18, Florida Statutes, establishing a curative procedure to correct single scrivener's errors in deed property descriptions without court action

  • Defines eligible scrivener's errors as single mistakes in lot/block identifications, condominium/cooperative unit identifiers, or directional/numerical fractions in section-township-range descriptions

  • Requires filing a curative notice in official county records that includes the erroneous legal description, correct intended property description, and sworn certification that the grantor held no other property in the same subdivision or section within 5 years before the deed

  • Excludes quitclaim deeds and properties described exclusively by metes and bounds legal descriptions from the curative procedure

  • Recorded curative notice operates as a correction relating back to the original erroneous deed's recording date and releases any cloud on title affecting property other than the intended property
