Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Mexico

use warranty deed to add owner?

A widowed, unmarried person owning property as an individual wishes to add

her daughter to the deed of her house in New Mexico. Is the correct form to be

recorded a Warrantee Deed? If so, is the mother the grantor and the mother and

daughter both the grantees, as joint tenants with rights of survivorship? Is there

a simpler or preferable way to add an owner, making the new owner a joint

tenant?

Re: use warranty deed to add owner?

Hi - I'm not sure how New Mexico law might be different from the laws of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, but typically when we're adding people to title (like a son or a daughter, for an estate planning reason), it's a quitclaim deed and not a warranty deed.

Feel free to contact my office at (603) 434-3437 and we can look into this for you -
