You said: "whoever the county says owns the land, is who owns it". That is simply wrong.

There is no obligation to "Record" a Deed in Florida or in any other state that I know of. Ownership transfers upon execution of a deed, not the recording of a deed.

Obviously you're not a lawyer, because any 1st Year Law Student would know better.
