My wifes name is on our deed/ mortgage. My name was not put on because I claimed bankruptcy. This happened about three years ago. Right now my credit is better and I would like to put my name on it. How can I be put onto the deed with my wife?

Re: changing a deed
The process is rather simple, assuming you have an experienced real estate attorney handling your file. An attorney should draft up a new deed reflecting the new changes and have the necessary paper recorded in the county clerk's office where the property is located.
By way of background, our office is a full-time Real Estate firm that has been around for over 70 years. We handle these matters day in and day out. We would love to handle this one for you. Please contact my office for further information.
Re: changing a deed
Just create a new deed.
Legal advise might be needed if there is a mortgage on the property presently.
Good Luck
