What is the preferred method of adding a same-sex married spouse to a deed in Maryland? We were married in Washington, DC. The home is located in Maryland. The home presently has a first secured party on it, which is the mortgage provider. The mortgage loan is in only one of the spouses name. We do not wish to add the other spouse onto the mortgage loan.

Hi Guest,

You can use a quitclaim deed in order to add the spouse to your property deed. You should contact a real estate attorney and he will guide you further in this regard.

Thanks

I'm in agreement with James, here.
Just bear in mind, Guest, that you run the risk of your lender taking umbrage at your change of title. Any transfer of title is generally considered as a potential reason for a lender to call the loan due and payable.
I don't believe you're really in jeopardy, but simply want to let you know of the potential reaction of your lender.

Bon chance.
