Re: legal deed change
You need a deed. The information on the new deed should be the same as on the old deed, except the "seller" is the husband and the "purchaser" is the husband and wife, "by tenancy by the entirety". Or, after the wife's name you may write, "his wife."
You will need a tp 584 form. This form may be found at: http://www.tax.state.ny.us/pdf/2007/fillin/property/tp584_307_fill_in.pdf
You will also need a NYS Equialization form. This form is in triplicate and may be ordered by contacting NY State Real Property Services. Your county clerk may also have the form.
