Posted on: 03rd Jul, 2009 03:06 pm
My husband purchased a house prior to our marriage. what form do we need to fill out so that we can both be owners. we also purchased raw land would we use a similar form. what about cat titles and putting in both names?
Hi pamandstein,

Your husband can add you to the property deed through a quit claim deed. He needs to sign the deed as the grantor and both he and you will receive the property as grantees. After signing the deed, get it notarized and recorded with the county recorder's office. You can also be added to the title to the raw land in this way. To add you to the car title, he needs to file your name as an additional owner of the car with the Department of Motor Vehicles. However, if there is a loan against it, you should inform your lender.

Quit claim deed is a legal document that helps to transfer your share of interest in the property (house, land, mobile home, etc) to another individual. The person giving away the interest is the grantor while the one who accepts it is the grantee. While the interest is transferred, no warranty is made on the rights which others may claim from the property.

The deed is then recorded at the land records office in the county where your property is located. After being recorded, the deed is often sent to the grantee or the grantor, title insurance company or anyone as decided by the parties
The deed implies that the grantor simply transfers his interest but does not guarantee whether the grantor actually has ownership rights on the property. Moreover, the deed does not guarantee that the property is free of debt.
