While married, I bought a property, in my name only, nine years ago.
It has been fully paid off for six years.
I want to add my spouse of 20 years as a joint owner on the title.
What is the process for doing this?
Update: I spoke to the original title company, and they will submit a Warranty Deed and will record with the county for $100 including recording fees.
You go to a lawyer and tell them what you want to do.
You need a lawyer because you want to make sure a transaction like this is watertight. Lawyers know exactly the right way to do this In your jurisdiction.
File a "quitclaim" deed with the county. Go to your county's website or call the county to get the form. It basically transfers ownership from person or persons to another person or persons. They can probably give you the legal description and notarize the form as well.
You might also call a local title company and see if they can offer any suggestions.
