You can add someone to the deed. Most people just use a Quit Claim Deed. You should consult a local attorney to see if there will be any additional tax due to the county. You are adding someone - which means giving them something of value - which the county or state will usually want to tax.
How do I change my name on the deed? The Allegheny County Real Estate Office handles owner name changes, please call 412-350-4226. Please note, if any changes are made to the deed you must reapply for any programs (i.e., Homestead, Senior Citizen Tax Relief).
To change, add or remove a name on your deed a new deed needs to be recorded reflecting the change. Many people think they can come into the office and change the present recorded deed with a form, but that is not the case. Once a deed is recorded it cannot be changed.
