This can only be done by recording a new deed showing the change. Many people think they can simply come into the office and change the present deed on record. However, once a paper is recorded, it cannot be changed. The new deed can be prepared by your attorney, title insurance company or a real estate office.

Can I Transfer a Deed Without an Attorney? The state of Pennsylvania does not require an attorney, but we strongly recommend it.
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.
For a deed to be legal, it must state the name of the buyer and the seller, describe the property being transferred, and include the signature of the party transferring the property. In addition to being either official or private, deeds are classified as general warranty, special warranty, or quitclaim.

What is an example of deed? A warranty deed is the most common example of a deed. A warranty deed is a deed that indicates that the property has been fully researched, and the grantor guarantees (warrants) that the grantor has full legal rights to sell the property with no liens or other encumbrances.
