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.
