FAQ
A statutory warranty deed is different from a warranty deed because it is a shorter form made available through your state's statutes and it may not outright list the promise that the title is guaranteed to be clear. Instead, because it is a statutory form, this guarantee is implied and is still legally enforceable.
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.
Contact all owners of the property. All vested owners currently on the title must sign a quitclaim deed. In order to share ownership with another person, you must get all other vested owners to consent and sign. Hire a Washington notary public.
Adding someone to your house deed requires the filing of a legal form known as a quitclaim deed. When executed and notarized, the quitclaim deed legally overrides the current deed to your home. By filing the quitclaim deed, you can add someone to the title of your home, in effect transferring a share of ownership.
In most states you can file a disclaimer or deed of disclaimer that says specifically you were placed in title without your knowledge or consent and disclaim the deed.
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.
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. The quitclaim deed must include the property's description, including its boundary lines.
Yes you can. This is called a transfer of equity but you will need the permission of your lender. If you are not married or in a civil partnership you may wish to consider creating a deed of trust and a living together agreement which we can explain to you.
