If you want to add your new spouse to your property deed, you can usually do this through a quitclaim deed. Depending on where you live, you may be able to create a new deed yourself, but in some locations you may need to get it notarized, file it with your county clerk, and/or utilize an attorney.
Use Form RP-5217-NYC for real property transfers within the five boroughs of New York City, and use Form RP-5217 for real property transfers in all other counties. Contact the local county clerk's office to confirm the specific local requirements.
If the person to be removed is alive, then you will need a court order or their cooperation such that you can record a new deed that removes them. Quitclaim and warranty deeds are common solutions. If an owner of a property has passed away, you will need to transfer the property to the living owners.

Once you've recorded a deed, it's a part of the public record and can't be changed. That's the bad news. The good news? You can execute a new deed called a correction deed to amend that original record.
In real estate law, "assignment" is simply the transfer of a deed of trust from one party to another.
Draft a corrective deed, affidavit, or new deed. Obtain the original signature(s) of the Grantor(s). Re-execute the deed with proper notarization and witnessing. The new instrument is recorded in the public record.
Amending a trust deed is process that should be treated as requiring careful planning, consideration and intentionality. Indeed, unintended (and undesirable) consequences can flow from a purported trust amendment that has been undertaken with such consideration, such as a resettlement of the trust.
