Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

Re: Add name to home deed

If the house is financed, then the financial institution will need to give you written permission to add the spouse to the deed. (It's very simple to obtain, you can usually get this with a phone call.) Once you get that, you can transfer half ownership using a special warranty deed, properly worded. Please note this will only give him an ownership interest, not an obligation to pay the bank. You can have a title company or lawyer do this for you for a small fee.
