Re: Quitclaim Deed
Yes, you are correct. Also, if your intention is to ensure that if one of you dies the other automatically becomes the sole owner (title holder) of the property, then after your full name and her full name, and "husband and wife", add "as tenants by the entirey with rights of survivorship". Of course, you should consult with a real estate lawyer to make sure the form you have is properly completed in accordance with the purpose you have in mind, and that it is properly recorded with the original returning to you after recording. The cost for a lawyer to do this should be minimal, and it will ensure that you do not experience a costly problem in the future.
