A: You would need to use a form deed approved in Puerto Rico. A Florida quit claim deed may not meet the requirements of Puerto Rico.

A: Yes. But the form of quit claim deed and method of execution should be done according to Puerto Rican law. Puerto Rico may accept the Florida method of execution of a deed, but you need someone to research thst issue or ask counsel in Puerto Rico.
