Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
adding a name to a deed
what form do I use to add my daughter's name to my house deed? It is now in my name only and I want both our names on the deed, each with rights of survivorship. I want to keep the property out of probate.
The quit-claim deed forms all say to give over the property to the other person, not just add a name.
Thank you.

I will prepare the conveyance for you for $75.
Need copy of existing deed and both of your names and marital status. Also need to know if one of you actually reside there. JMC
Re: adding a name to a deed
You can convey title by quitclaim deed from yourself to yourself and daughter as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. Other options to assure your goal include forming a life estate to yourself with the remainder to your daughter.
You should consult with an attorney to be sure the deed is properly drafted.
