Re: Transferring a Deed to property
I suggest a Quitclaim deed. Your spouse should join you on the deed as Grantor if you are married.Example: "John Smith and Mary Smith, husband and wife" A Quitclaim deed can be found at most office supply stores. If you have the deed to your property, use the legal description from it and write in the same legal description on the Quitclaim deed. A Quitclaim deed as opposed to a Warranty deed conveys only the legal interest you have in the property and does not warrant title. You can indicate that the consideration for the conveyance is "Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration the receipt of which is hereby acknowledge". Any deed to be effective should be delivered to the person (the Grantee) you intend to have the property, who should have it recorded. The Grantee will then own the interest which you owned subject to all liens, mortgages and claims of record or otherwise.
