How long does a name change take? The time frame for completing a name change on a deed can vary by state and county. Once you have all the necessary documents, filing with the county recorder's office can be relatively quick, often within a few weeks to a few months.
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.
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.
