Re: Quit Claim Deed
You should discuss this action with an attorney. If you add her as a joint tenant, then the first to die loses their interest in the house and the survivor owns the entire house. In my experience the title would be held as tenants in common. This way the interest of each party remains should one of the owners die. Also why would you want to add her name to the title of the property?
