Florida requirement for the identified preparer

We understand the particulars of the Florida recording requirement for the identified preparer have been enforced inconsistently over time across Florida's counties.

The options available through GoDocs are:

  • For Florida recordation, you can add a natural person to the "Prepared By" section of the document, per document, post-delivery; internally, or possibly with the title or escrow company.
  • If you provide one name, we can include that name as an attention name with all recorded documents (not just Florida); this is understood to satisfy the Florida recordation issue regarding a natural person identified as a prepared party.
  • If you had a specific request in mind, we would review that idea for coding as well.

Please note that of the first two options above, the option to add the name post-delivery from GoDocs is the most flexible solution used by our customers.
