Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Re: deed

You could though this type of deed is used to remove a name from deed. By the way it is a quitclaim deed. All it says is I don't warrant that I have any interest in the property.

What you want to do is draft a new warranty deed. Where the husband grants a deed to he and his wife.

It should be pointed out deeds are one use documents. That is they convey the title to the land and once registered are nothing more a memorial of that conveyance.

If you have any questions feel free to give me a call. The initial consultation is free.

Re: deed

The phrase you are looking for is a "quit claim" deed which is used to devise an interest in real property. Usually the quit claim devests the entire claim to the named party. That could be an appropriate tool in some circumstances. But as to this situation I cannot give you an appropriate answer without more information.

You should consult an attorney to discuss this issue further. If there is a mortgage or any type lien on the property you may need approval to make such a change to the deed. An attorney can make certain that the paperwork is properly completed to effect the transaction you have in mind.

And since you mentioned you are newly married, 1) congratulations, and 2) make certain that updating your estate plans is high on your "to do" list. It is important that married people re-evaluate their estate plans (wills, power of attorney, trusts, etc.). Should anything happen to one or both that the other is able to carry on with not only daily affairs but long-term planning.
