my parents both own a house, however we want to take my father off the title and transfer it to mine and my brother names. would a quit claim deed take care of this? i saw the form and assume both of my parents would be considered the grantors and would have to sign it over? if so is there a major cost to file this, we live in ca. thank you
Hi Simpsontish,
Welcome to MortgageFit Forums.
You are absolutely correct in your approach. A quit claim deed is the process by which your father can transfer his name off the title.
If the property is a community property in the name of husband and wife then both of their names are required in the form.
They must sign the quit claim deed form in front of a notary public. You are not going to get the portion belonging to a grantor who does not sign. So your mother may not be required to sign it. Consult an attorney for his advice as this is a crucial record.
The cost may be around $14.00 for the first page and $3 for each additional page.

God bless you.

Hi Simpsontish,
Always consult an attorney to add or remove any name from the deed to avoid any future trouble, as he may study the details and guide you properly with accurate documentation while filling the quit claim deed form.
