While filling out a quick claim deed can you add two names to the deed? If one of the people listed on the deed passes away does it automaticlly go to the other person listed on the deed? If there is two people listed on the deed can the other added person be added to the loan? Is there any issues with the loan if one passes away?
Hi Dawn!
Welcome to Forums!
Yes, while filing a quitclaim deed, you can add two names to the deed. I do not think that if one person dies, the property will automatically go to the other person. The other person has to file an affidavit of heirship to get the property. Yes, you can add the other person to the loan. But if one passes away, then it will be better if the other person refinances the loan.
Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

You can definitely add names to a deed but you cannot automatically get the rights of the property if a person is dead. If a person dies, then to transfer his loan, the other will have to refinance.
As far as the deed goes, in most states if you deed the property to two people "as joint tenants with full rights of survivorship", title will pass automatically to the other person if one dies - you should check with a real estate atty or title company for proper verbiage to accomplish this based on the laws in your particular state.
As far as the loan, you'll need to refinance to add someone to a loan.

What would be the verbiage on the quick claim? Whould it be Joan AND John or would it read Joan OR John? Then would both have to sign the back or would it just be the person the deed is listed in now?
Hi Dawn!
If you are quitclaiming certain portions of the property to the other person, then the deed will have your name as the grantor and the other person's name as grantee. Regarding the verbiage of the deed, it will be better if you could draft the deed by an attorney as he will know the correct legal language used in the deed.

My husband had his mother quick claim her house into his name in May because we had to move in to take care of her. How do I add my name also. Is the house condsidered community property incase of a divorce? :?:
Hi Colleen,
You can ask your husband to sign a quitclaim deed and add your name to the property deed. Depending upon your state laws, the property may or may not be considered as community property.

what form you use to add a name to a deed and we are not married
Regina, you can use a quitclaim deed in order to add name to a property deed though you're not married to that person.
