What is the best way to add my daughter to a property deed without my son-in-law having any rights while we (her parents) are still alive? This property will go to our daughter in the event of our death. The property is in SC.
Hi colen,
You can add your daughter as a joint tenant to the property deed through a quit claim deed. You can transfer the title as grantor to you both and your daughter. The joint tenancy will give you equal rights to the property, while the right of survivorship will make sure that the ownership is transferred to your daughter in the event of your death. Unless the property is in a community property state, your daughter's husband will not have any rights to this property.
