Q: My husband and I paid off our homes prior to marriage. How do we add our son to each deed without adding each other?
E.g. FL Gen Warranty Deed: my name/grantor, son/grantee, $?, etc. So new deed would read me and/or son so it's easier for son to inherent when I'm deceased...? Then we do the same with husband's deed so husband and/or son owns property together. As both husband and wife want to include/add son only on each of both deeds.

A: The simplest way is Quitclaim deeds. But if these are single family homes, I'd highly recommend warranty deeds and paying for title insurance. Otherwise, your quitclaim deeds will invalidate title insurance you have today. And title insurance is important in FL. Boundary disputes, for instance, are common.
