North Carolina Quitclaim Deed - Husband and Wife to Two Individuals
What this document covers

FAQ
California married couples generally have three options to take title to their community (vs separate) property real estate: community property, joint tenancy or Community Property with Right of Survivorship. The latter coming into play in California July of 2001.
The names on the mortgage show who's responsible for paying back the loan, while the title shows who owns the property. You can put your spouse on the title without putting them on the mortgage; this would mean that they share ownership of the home but aren't legally responsible for making mortgage payments.
Discuss property ownership interests. Access a copy of your title deed. Complete, review and sign the quitclaim or warranty form. Submit the quitclaim or warranty form. Request a certified copy of your quitclaim or warranty deed.
It's often easier to qualify for a joint mortgage, because both spouses can contribute income and assets to the application. However, if one spouse can qualify for a mortgage based on his own income and credit, the mortgage does not need to be in both spouses' names unless you live in a community property state.
The only way to forcibly change the ownership status is through a legal action and the resultant court order. However, if an owner chooses to be removed from the deed, it is simply a matter of preparing a new deed transferring that owner's interest in the property.
In California, all property bought during the marriage with income that was earned during the marriage is deemed "community property." The law implies that both spouses own this property equally, regardless of which name is on the title deed.
Before adding your spouse to the deed, speak with your attorney. The easiest way to grant your spouse title to your home is via a quitclaim deed (Californians generally use an interspousal grant deed). With a quitclaim deed, you can name your spouse as the property's joint owner.
In cases where a couple shares a home but only one spouse's name is on it, the home will not automatically pass to the surviving pass, if his or her name is not on the title.
Two of the most common ways to transfer property in a divorce are through an interspousal transfer deed or quitclaim deed. When spouses own property together, but then one spouse executes an interspousal transfer or a quitclaim deed, this is known as transmutation.
