    "[new name], a married woman, formerly known as [maiden name]"

    You should also get her husband to sign the QCD.

    But why are you accepting a quitclaim anyway? You are paying good money for this land. Isn't she able to warrant her title?

    So? Do you imagine a warranty deed costs more than a QCD?

    So she will not even promise that she is the legal owner ? She will not promise that no one else may latter have a claim ? Have you done at least a full title search to be sure there are no other issues or problems, no prior claims that need to be cleared up.

    The fact that she will not give you a warranty deed, is a giant red flag to me.

    If you're going to accept a quit claim deed then you absolutely, positively must get a title search done before you pay her.

    OK to let every one know this land was part of the great river ranch land scam that went on in the 70s in lake wales fl the people that bought these properitys where all scammed with land locked land they were told they could retire there but they can't even get to there land and she has been paying taxes ever sense she bought around $10 a year I own land at road front so I can get in so it is worth biying for me

    If it's worth buying then it's worth getting a title search.

    In most places, a title search comes with title insurance.
