Q: I was just married and we would like to have me added to deed of property. How do I go about doing this?
We are moving into her home, so what do I need to do, just create a new deed and file it?
A: The owner makes a deed to the new owners, and it is filed with the accompanying forms, which vary by county.
A: A new deed will need to be created and filed together with ACRIS documents. However, take note that if there is a mortgage on the property, you may be required to refinance or be in default of the terms of the existing mortgage by transferring an interest in the property.
A: Your wife creates a new quitclaim deed with her as the party of the first part and both of you as party of the second part. You have to determine what form of join ownership you want to have, with or without right of survivorship.
