The short answer is, they don't really. The physician owns the paper; the patient owns the data. It's a pretty murky area of law just now.

Must the spouse of the owner-of-record of real estate in Florida sign a deed of conveyance?

The question is somewhat unclear - if the spouse of the owner is also named on the title, yes, they must sign. If the "owner-of-record" is the SOLE legal owner of the property the spouse does not have to sign, but they MAY retain a legal 'interest' in the the proceeds of the sale, and MAY have financial interest in it.AnswerFlorida is a separate property state and dower and curtesy rights have been abolished. Therefore a married individual can own separate property (the owner of record) and the non-owner spouse should not have to sign a deed of conveyence. However, as always, you should consult with an attorney if you anticipate this type of transaction. If the property is subject to a homestead exemption the spouse may need to sign.See chart at the related link.
