A: Yes, an attorney should be able to handle deeds in two different counties within Arizona. Deeds from other states may be a problem.
A: It can be done. The most difficult part of something like this is ensuring that the former spouse can be removed simply. How easy that is depends on how they held title together. Finally, a beneficiary deed might be a better fit than adding daughter to the deed. It depends on the reasons for doing so.
