Ther are several ways. The easiest is to execute a quit claim deed. This is different than a warranty deed, in that you are not guaranteeing that you have a certain type of ownership. You are merely transferring what you have. For example, if Tom owns a house and wants to add May, Tom would execute a Deed to Tom and Mary. Once the Deed is recorded with the Reorder of Deeds in the County where the house is located, it effectively is now in the name of Tom and Mary. You add things to designate how Tom and Mary would own the property, but the law will assert presumptions if you don't. You should have a professional draft the Deed and probably handle the execution (siging) and maybe the recording. |
