Add Company Deed For Free

When you add someone to the deed, all or a portion of your ownership is transferred to that person. Once it's done, you can't take it back unless the person you've added provides consent to be removed from the deed. He or she can take out a loan on the property, tear it down, or even sell their share of the property.

In Newfoundland, there is a registration fee of $100 plus 0.4% of the value of the mortgage in excess of $500. The registration fees in Newfoundland and Labrador are set by the Minister under the auspices of the Registration of Deeds Act, 2009, S.N.L. 2009, c. R-10.01.

If your name is on the deed but not the mortgage, it means that you are an owner of the home, but are not liable for the mortgage loan and the resulting payments. If you default on the payments, however, the lender can still foreclose on the home, despite that only one spouse is listed on the mortgage.

A deed that conveys an interest in your real estate ownership (adds someone on) has the legal effect of giving that additional person the same bundle of rights to which you are entitled. Once the conveyance happens, it cannot be undone except with that other additional owner's consent.

Getting the name changed on your deeds is an easy process and you do not need to involve a solicitor. Generally there is no fee to pay either. You simply need to send a letter to the Land Registry office requesting the name change, together with either the original or a certified copy of your marriage certificate.
