Whatever the reason, you will need to retain an attorney, experienced in real estate, to draft a new deed conveying (i.e., transferring) your home to yourself and the person you wish to add to your title. In addition to the deed, your attorney will also need to prepare transfer tax returns.
A New York deed must be filed with a Real Property Transfer Report (Form RP-5217). Form RP-5217 documents the details of the real estate transfer. The current owner and new owner must both sign the completed form.
Deeds should be recorded in the Office of the County Clerk of the county in which the real property being transferred is located. When recording a deed, it is your responsibility to take the proper steps to ensure that the document meets the legal requirements for recording.
The grantor must sign the deed form and that signature must be properly acknowledged by a notary public. All signatures must be original; we cannot accept photocopies. A complete description of the property including the village, town, county and state where the property is located must also be included on the form.
