Hi All - my mother recently passed away with pancreatic cancer and I'm helping Dad get all of his legal documentation done. I had typed up new wills for them before she passed, so that is taken care of.

My question is, Dad would like to have the mortage deed (he owns the house free and clear but it is still in both their names) - refiled or amended to be joint tenancy with right of survivorship for himself and his four children. I'm trying to save him the attorney fees and am wondering if this is something I can do for him. I've been researching this don't know if we need to file a deed of some sort, a quit claim form or what. I've been trying to find free legal forms online to address this problem, but boy this is like running on water - s l o w going - too much out there!

Your input is very much appreciated. Thanks!

something like this can be done through a quitclaim deed but the county is going to charge the recording fees and you might want to go through attorney or a title company since this is pretty important to be done right

agreed. Do an internet search for a local title company and they can handle this transaction for you very quickly and most likely in a very inexpensive fashion.
