Re: Transfer of Deed

Your common law husband can sign a deed transfering the interest in real estate to you both. However, I suggest you consult an attorney as their may be a transfer tax due in view of the fact you are not married. I suggest you formally get married and transfer title to avoid the tranfer tax question. A transfer of real estate ownership from husband to wife is exempt from the transfer tax.
