I would like to add one of my children or all of my children to my house. Right now, my name is the only one listed. If I do a quitclaim, what exactly does this entail? Is this something I can do on my own, free, or do I need an attorney?

Hello dmvaughn.

Welcome to the forums.

You can use a quitclaim deed to transfer the property to your children or add the children on the deed. You can also do it yourselves. But it advisable to take help from an attorney do avoid future inconvenience. BTW you should notarized the deed and record it in the county recorder's office. Feel free to ask the community if you have further questions.

I recommend against using a quitclaim deed. Use a Grant Deed to transfer an interest in property.

You can do it yourself. Download a form from the internet. You are the Grantor, and You and your children are the Grantees. Make sure it is notarized and filed in the county where the property is located.
