This is what we are trying to figure out. We called the county office (who has the original deed on record) and asked them. I would call your county office to talk to them about what is need for you in your state. They told me I could buy a new deed at an office supply store, and the only one I could find is the Quit claim deed too. So I don't know if this is it or not, but we need to figure it out before the interview. Anyone else know if we should us the Quit claim deed to add a spouse to the house title/deed?

I hired a real estate attorney about 10 years. It was worth the amount of money I paid because all I had to do was sign the paper and the lawyer handled the rest. I got the new deed in the mail, if I remember. At the time it was under 200 USD , so I do not know what they would charge now days.

Best advice is to talk to a real estate attorney - he/she can do this for you and it shouldn't cost very much. It can be done yourself, but it's worth the $75 (or whatever, plus filing fees which shouldn't be much) to get it right.

Your home is your number one asset (for most of us) - it's worth protecting..

Im not sure who holds your title if you still have a mortgage. I know I was free and clear, so maybe that is why the new deed was mailed to me. Yeah, best to call at real estate attorney and ask some questions.

When i did the Quit Claim Deed for our house i had to go to my register of deeds for the form. Filled in the information off my tax bill for property description, gave reason for change, ie: my new name and adding hubby. I did have one question that a local real estate attorney answered for free, which was cool!! All in all it cost less then $20 to have it done.
