Q: How do we remove one child from a deed and add another in Orange County, Florida?
My husband and I bought a small house in 2011 for our daughter to live in while attending college. We had her name added to the deed. She has since moved on and purchased her own home and our son now lives in the house. We would like to remove our daughter’s name from the deed and replace it with our son’s. How would we do that this and how much would it cost?
A: You can do this via a quit claim deed. To make sure it gets done correctly you should go to a real estate transactional attorney. People try to do this themselves to avoid paying an attorney a couple of hundred dollars and end up making mistakes that cost thousands to fix.
