In New York, your legal entitlement to half of the house does not depend on whether your name is on the deed or mortgage. New York is an equitable distribution state, which means that in the event of a divorce, the court divides marital property based on what is fair, not necessarily a 50-50 split.
Adding a family member to the deed as a joint owner for no consideration is considered a gift of 50% of the property's fair market value for tax purposes. If the value of the gift exceeds the annual exclusion limit ($16,000 for 2022) the donor will need to file a gift tax return (via Form 709) to report the transfer.
How Do I File a Deed or Add or Remove Someone From My Existing Deed? Unfortunately, once a deed is recorded in New York State, it can't simply be amended or modified. A new deed must be recorded to change ownership.
Whatever the reason, you will need to retain an attorney, experienced in real estate, to draft a new deed conveying 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.
