Yes you can. This is called a transfer of equity but you will need the permission of your lender.

Tennessee real estate owners can transfer ownership or change how property is titled by recording a signed, written deed. Tennessee recognizes three primary types of deeds. The distinguishing feature of each type is the warranty of title it provides the new owner.

A Tennessee quitclaim deed form transfers the current owner's entire interest in the property with no warranty or covenants of title. The new owner (the grantee) receives whatever ownership interest the current owner (the grantor) can legally transfer.

Adding someone to your house deed requires the filing of a legal form known as a quitclaim deed. When executed and notarized, the quitclaim deed legally overrides the current deed to your home.

In the State of Tennessee, a quitclaim deed must be either notarized by a Notary Public or signed by the seller of the property in front of two witnesses (§ 66-22-101). Once one of these criteria has been met, the document must be filed with the Register of Deeds Office along with the proper filing fees (§ 66-5-106).

A Tennessee quit claim deed may be filled out and filed with the Tennessee Register of Deeds in order to transfer a property from a grantor to a grantee. This document must be signed and notarized.

Gifts of real property in Tennessee are, however, subject to the federal gift tax, which the grantor is responsible for paying; however, if the grantor does not pay the gift tax, the grantee will be held liable [1].

The documents can be prepared by anyone as long as the required information is written in the deed as outlined in § 66-5-103. Once the forms have been prepared, along with the Legal Description of the property, it may be signed with two (2) witnesses or a notary public.

An affidavit of heirship is the simplest way of transferring real property after a person has passed away. When a person dies in Tennessee without a will, real estate immediately vests in the heirs of the decedent.

“Adding someone to a deed” means transferring ownership to that person. The transfer of ownership can occur during life (with a regular quitclaim deed, for example) or at death (using a lady bird deed, transfer-on-death-deed, or life estate deed).
