District Court of Appeal of Florida

Under Florida law, equitable estoppel is not available to create an interest in real property when a deed on which the proponent relies is substantially defective on its face. In an action alleging fraud concerning the execution of a set of deeds, seeking to quiet title in certain property, and requesting attorney's fees, a ruling for plaintiff is reversed in part as to a quiet title judgment and an award of fees where a set of deeds were defective on their face and failed to convey legal title to plaintiff.
