I will soon have purchased my house and be mortgage free, however I have recently married and as my husband has paid off most of my outstanding mortgage I would like to make the deeds in joint names when the time comes. How can I do this without accumulating expensive lawyers fees?
Hi Gerrard,
You can simply use a grant deed or quitclaim deed and add your husband to the title. However, you'll have to get the deed signed by a notary public before getting it recorded at the County Recorder's office.
I understand that you wish to avoid attorney fees. But it's best if the deed is drafted by an attorney as because he's aware of the legal language that's being used in a deed. This actually helps you to avoid problems related to property title later on.
Know how grant deed works if you'd like to use it.

You can download the forms from the internet. Use a grant deed from you as grantor to you and your husband as grantees.
