Re: Adding a spouse to my home
You should be able to find a form on the LawGuru
website that would be appropriate for use in the Commonwealth to add the name of your spouse to the deed for your property.
This document, after it has been properly filled out and signed, would then need to be recorded in the land records of the circuit court where your property is located.
