Hi BRENDA!

Welcome to forums!

It is not mandatory for you to take the help of an attorney and you can definitely do it yourself. However, it is always better to take the help of an attorney and get the property deed drafted by him.

Hi narelle,

Your partner will have to ask the ex-wife to sign a quit claim deed and transfer the property to him. He may have to pay the deed recording fees, stamp docs, etc. while recording the deed at the county recorder's office.

My husband and I got married last year and we were wondering how to add my name to the deed, how much would that cost, who do we contact, and is that the best way to go just in case anything should happen?

Hi Tammy,

You should ask your husband to sign a quit claim deed and add your name to the property deed. Your husband would be the grantor of the property and your name and your husband's name will be mentioned as the grantee to it. You can contact an attorney and he will help you in drafting the property deed. The cost of the deed and other fees will vary from state to state.

Welcome bob,

If the property is solely in your brother's name, then you won't be able to claim any ownership to that property. If a portion of the property in your father's name, then you can file an affidavit of heirship and get that portion of the property transferred in your name.

Mortgage and Deed in two names, want to remove one name from deed. i was told by mortgage company If I want to assume the existing mortgage in my name only I must first remove 2nd name from my deed and can do this with other parties permission. If thats true can I remove the other parties name and leave the loan as is. Realizing of course the home is still subject to same rules etc.

Hi Kathy,

You should ask the other person to sign a quitclaim deed and get the property transferred in your name. Once you do so, you will become the owner of the property and then you can assume the mortgage in your name.

Thanks
