Adding your spouse to the home deed is an important step to ensure that they have legal ownership of the property. It also provides them with certain legal rights and protections, such as the right to inherit the property if you pass away.
There are several ways to add your spouse to the home deed. One way is to have a quitclaim deed prepared and recorded with the county recorder’s office. A quitclaim deed is a legal document that transfers ownership of real property from one person to another. Another way to add your spouse to the home deed is to have a new deed prepared and recorded with the county recorder’s office. A new deed will create a new chain of title for the property, and your spouse will be listed as a co-owner on the deed.
