Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

Re: add my daughter to my property deed

That would be a deed. You really need to see an attorney for this one.

Re: add my daughter to my property deed

This is called a quitclaim deed. You should not do this yourself as their is specific language that is not included in the form. If you fill it out incorrectly, by fialing to phrase something the proper way, you could end up not accomplishing what you want done. You should be able to find an attorney to do this for you for under $100.

Re: add my daughter to my property deed

As the other attorney said, it's done via a quitclaim deed. The mechanics of it are simple for an experienced real estate attorney. However, you need to watch out for the tax implications. This may very well be considered a gift to your daughter, triggering gift tax consequences. You should also consult an accountant.
