AboutBrenda Miller, ABR, Realtor Expertise When acquiring waterfront property, you are making a lifestyle choice. How you plan to use the property is the first decision you will need to make. Unless your idea of a waterfront property is sweeping views of a man-made retention pond, you need to make sure the property borders navigable water suitable for recreational boating with river or ocean access. Jacksonville, Florida offers a fantastic diversity of navigable waters. Properties can be purchased along the Intracoastal Waterway, the Atlantic Ocean, St. Johns River, Trout River, Arlington River, Broward River and Dunn Creek Basin, Ortega River, Julington and Durbin Creeks Basin, Pablo Creek and many other tributaries. Ask me questions that will help you properly market or purchase a waterfront home in Jacksonville, Florida.

Question Hi, does the Florida law allows only one spouse to be on the deed considering that he/she is the only one on the mortgage too? What are the consequences if any in case of a divorce? Is the person on the deed still the sole and 100% owner of the property after the divorce no matter what or it's up to the divorce judgment to redistribute ownership of real property acquired during marriage despite the fact that the deed belongs only to one spouse?
Answer Florida allows only one spouse to be named on the deed; however, Florida is a homestead state. Both will be required to sign when the deed is conveyed if it was marital property. I'm sure an attorney can sort this out for you much better than I, but generally speaking, there is no such thing as 100% sole ownership in a homestead property once married. You need to consult a real estate attorney. Good luck!
