Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

Re: deed of house

You will need a copy of the current deed. The current owner simply signs a new deed indicating the new owner. If the owner is an estate, the executor would sign the deed.

Re: deed of house

I agree with Jon. Your facts are limited, so I add the following, not knowing who is the owner and what is intended to be accomplished. The current owner, or the Executor if the current owner is deceased, signs a new Deed and then records it. The Deed must name the new owner and any current owner that will remain on the Deed, plus spell out the allocation of ownership after the new owner is added, and how title is to be taken (joint ownership with survivorship rights, tenancy in common, etc.). The consideration, if any, is to be specified and all appropriate additional forms completed and attached. It is best if you were assisted by an attorney familiar with these matters to assure the document is done properly, all forms are included and the new Deed properly recorded and applicable fees paid. If you need assistance, contact me directly. If the matter is simple, fees are minimal.
