Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Deed Form question

I would like to add my name to a deed the original deed was created using FORM 8007: Bargain and Sale Deed with Covenant against Grantor Acts ( Individual or Corporation)

Is there a particualar reason why this Deed was used and stated must be used by a lawyer.

If I want to add my name to the deed myself do I have to use the same type of Deed Form? Should I use another type?

Re: Deed Form question

The owner of the real property would add your name to the deed, since the deed must be signed by the owner.

There are many form bargain and sale deeds available and no requirement that you use any particular document. However, the acknowledgment must comply with NY Real Property Law.
