Procedure to add non-relative to Deed to House
Q. I want to add my girlfriend to the deed to my
home. Will a quit claim deed recorded at county
records department accomplish this?
A. YES, if done properly.
Q. Do I deed from myself to myself and girlfriend?
A. Depends on what you deed to her and the language
you use. You have been through this once with
your exwife. You need to seriously consider what
you are about to do. Sounds like history repeating
itself.
