IN RE: AMENDMENTS TO FLORIDA RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE – 2023 LEGISLATION. (2024)

The Florida Bar's Civil Procedure Rules Committee has filed a report proposing the adoption of new form 1.925 (Complaint to Quiet Title).¹

The proposal is in response to the enactment of section 65.091, Florida Statutes (2023), which established the right to a summary procedure in actions to quiet title based on a fraudulent attempted conveyance allegation and went into effect on July 1, 2023. See ch. 2023-238, §§ 3, 6, Laws of Fla. The Committee and the Board of Governors approved the proposed new form. The Court published the proposal for comment. No comments were received.

Having considered the Committee's report, we adopt new form 1.925 as proposed by the Committee. New form 1.925 is a simplified form for the filing of a complaint to quiet title based on a fraudulent attempted conveyance allegation.

Accordingly, new form 1.925 is adopted as reflected in the appendix to this opinion. New language is indicated by underscoring. The new form shall become effective immediately upon the release of this opinion.

It is so ordered.

THE FILING OF A MOTION FOR REHEARING SHALL NOT ALTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE AMENDMENTS.
