What a nice gesture. You can absolutely add her in via a Quit Claim Deed. I would strongly urge you to hire a real estate lawyer to prepare one so it is done right. Errors in deeds are costly specially when trying to correct them after many years and at the time of sale. As co-tenants you can... View More
I wrote a citation that was dismissed in court. I was later told, the hearing officer dismissed it due to me not stating my jurisdiction as an officer and the fact I did not say I identified the driver by their license.
