A: I would encourage you to speak with a real estate and or estate planning attorney in the state where the property is located. based on what you are precisely trying to accomplish and why will make a big difference with respect to what you may want to consider doing. For example, is this property homestead, are there concerns about Medicaid, why are you making the transfer, is there a spouse and or are you just adding a spouse, are you trying to leave property to child/other, maybe a different type of deed would be better suited under the circumstances (Enhanced Life Estate Deed) and or are there other issues and concerns. Especially if this is Homestead, you will want to be careful. A Deed tends not to be a Do it Yourself type undertaking for the reasons above and many others, that said, if you are trying to convey a property from yourself to yourself and another person, you can accomplish this via a Quit Claim Deed and or similar Deeds.
