and other information:

1. Obtain a copy of the original deed transferring ownership from Disney to current owners. This will have the legal description of the property interest being transferred, as well as the exact names of how the title is currently held;
2. The grantors should be titled exactly how they originally got title. For example, John Smith and Jane Smith. If there are any middle names or initials, make sure they all match up.
3. The signatures of the grantors need to be notarized. Make sure to bring ID.
4. Follow the statute below (calculate documentary transfer tax, etc.). If there is no consideration changing hands (money, property, etc.), it should be zero.
5. Calculate the recording fees (see above link);
6. Send completed deed with notarized signatures and legal description, check for fees, to Orange County Comptroller (check website to see exactly how the check for the recording fees is to be made payable to).
**Interesting that the website doesn't provide you sample deeds. I know certain recorder's offices in California even provide you blank deeds on their website.

Chapter 201, Florida Statutes – Collection of Documentary Stamps
The Clerk of Courts is to collect Documentary stamp tax at the time a deed is recorded. The tax is levied at the rate of $.70 per $100 (or portion thereof) on documents that transfer interest in Florida real property, such as warranty deeds and quit claim deeds. This tax is based on the sale, consideration or transfer amount and is usually paid to the Clerk of Court when the document is recorded. The Clerks of Court sends the money to the Department of Revenue and the Department distributes the funds according to law. The sale price, transfer, or consideration amount must be on the deed or in a cover letter for recording.
