Can You Void a Fraudulent Deed or Recover Damages in Florida?
In Florida, individuals may have the ability to void a fraudulent deed and recover damages related to property rights impairment. The primary legal remedy available is a quiet title action based on allegations of fraudulent conveyance, as outlined in Fla. Stat. § 65.091. If a court finds that a fraudulent conveyance occurred, it is required to restore the plaintiff's title and rights to their original state. The success of such actions depends on various factors, including the nature of the documents involved, the evidence of fraud (such as forged signatures or misrepresentation), and the rights of any third parties who may have relied on public records.
