Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Re: using a quick claim deed to add my wife a co-owner of my house

You should consult with an attorney to discuss your options and also to properly draft the deed you need. Inherited property does not automatically become part of the marital estate in Florida, so you must consider that when re-deeding the property. You also will want to ensure that the property will transfer to her solely if you die first, therefore the need for the proper advice and drafting.

Re: using a quick claim deed to add my wife a co-owner of my house

What you are referring to is a quit claim deed. You are better off to deed the interest to your wife if you wish, so that she will not have to involve any court in changing the property to her name should you die first. You should consult a local real estate attorney and deed the property to your self and your wife as tenants by the entirety, a special kind of ownership only available to married couples, and only available on one residence. Consult a local lawyer and get it done. She will benefit from the action if this is your desire.
