Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
deeds
How do I go about transfering the deed to our property into my name and my husband's name and not just his name? Does it involve a lawyer and if not is there a fee for paperwork that involves recording office or some other office?

Re: deeds
Your husband must execute a quit claim deed in favor of himself and you (his wife) and record it in the county where the property is located. There is a recording fee, and the fee depends on which county records the deed. The fee is not substantial. Good luck.

The most expeditious method is by quit claim deed. There will be recording fees. Even so, you should consult with a qualified atty. Atty fees will be minimal.
