Q: What steps and verbiage is needed to add a third person to a deed in St. Petersburg, FL?
The deed and mortgage are in my aunt and her husband's name. They want to add me to the deed. Do I need a quitclaim deed or some other document to do this? I keep finding 'free' quitclaim deeds online but at the end they ask you to pay. I don't mind paying but I need to know if I'm filling out the correct forms. The forms I'm finding provide a PDF draft that can be viewed prior to paying but the verbiage makes it seem like my aunt and uncle are transferring ownership entirely to me which is not what we want to do. We want to add an additional person to the deed.
A: You want to name your aunt and uncle as "grantors", and all three of you would be named as "grantees".
