Re: on your grant deed
I've answered both of your questions as re-asked a little later, but just for the record, the naswers are:
(1) No, you can't add a person to a deed. You can add a person to TITLE, which is what you meant to ask. I advise against this becuase of the bad and largely unnecessary adverse tax consequences. Use of a living trust is much to be preferred.
(2) Single.
