Idaho Warranty Deed from Husband to Himself and Wife
Overview of this form
This Warranty Deed from Husband to Himself and Wife is a legal document that allows a husband to transfer property ownership to himself and his wife as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. This form ensures that, in the event of one spouse's death, the surviving spouse automatically retains full ownership of the property.

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.
To make the form legally binding, you must sign it in front of a notary public. You must then file your signed and notarized deed with the county office that's in charge of recording property documents. Once the grantee signs the warranty deed, he/she legally has ownership and claim to the property.
