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.

A quitclaim deed can be used to transfer property from a trust, but a Special Warranty Deed seems to be a more common way to do this.

Grantor's signature: The grantor must sign the deed for it to be valid. Usually, if more than one person owns a property, all the owners must sign.

Typically, the lender will provide you with a copy of the deed of trust after the closing. The original warranty deeds are often mailed to the grantee after they are recorded. These are your original copies and should be kept in a safe place, such as a fireproof lockbox or a safe deposit box at a financial institution.
