Florida Real Estate Practice Exam

What should Jericho do to ensure his interest in the property he is buying from Cheng?

1. Ensure that Cheng signs the deed.

2. Ensure that he signs the deed.

3. Purchase title insurance.

4. Record the deed in his name.

The correct answer is: Record the deed in his name.

Recording the deed in his name will ensure that Jericho's interest in the property is legally documented and protected. Option A, signing the deed, is not enough to secure his interest as Cheng could potentially still have rights to the property. Option B, having Cheng sign the deed, puts the responsibility on Cheng, but does not guarantee that the deed will be recorded in Jericho's name. Option C, purchasing title insurance, protects against any existing claims on the property, but does not guarantee that Jericho's interest will be recorded. Only recording the deed in his name guarantees that Jericho's interest in the property is officially recognized.
