My wife's aunt and uncle helped us buy a home in 1987. The house remained in their name but we made the monthly payments to them. They last 5 years, we have been making the payments directly to the morgage company. Both aunt and uncle have passed away and the house was willed to my wife. We do not understand how to fill out a quitclaim deed in order to put the house in both our names. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Powell,
Welcome to the forums.
You may refer to a sample Quitclaim form where there's a section on How to complete the form. The different sections of the deed are mentioned here. It is still better that you consult that you consult a lawyer for filing out the quitclaim form.

hi powell,
you haven't mentioned whether probate of the will was completed or not. if it was then now your wife owns the house. if the house is to be placed in joint ownership then a quit claim deed can be used.
on the deed your wife will be named as the person transferring part of her share in the house over to you (known as the grantor) and you will be put as the person receiving ownership (known as the grantee).
deed will have to be notarized and recorded with county recorder's office to legally complete the ownership transfer.
but what about the mortgage? in whose name it currently is in? uncle & aunt's name? at the time they passed away didn't lender ask you to refinance it in your wife's name as she was the new owner? or was it refinanced? does the lender know that your wife's aunt and uncle have passed away?

As there is a mortgage on which repayment is still on, if a quit claim deed is made to transfer the property from your wife's name to both of you, lender may require the loan to be refinanced (I assume the loan is in your wife's name).
Lender can ask to refinance the loan as there will be a change in the way title is held. Previously it was in her name only but now it will be in both names.
If any change occurs from what is stated in the mortgage loan documents generally requires the loan to be paid off or refinanced.

My husband is the only one on the deed. We are happily married how to i add my name to the property. Is the grantor my husband? The grantee would that be me and my husband?
Hi Anna.
Welcome to the forum.
You can use a quitclaim deed to add yourself on the deed. As you have said your husband should be the grantor and you and your husband both will be the grantee. BTW have consulted with an attorney for adding your name on the deed. If not then take help from an attorney.
Best of luck.

My daughter is on my husband and my deed and she would like to quitclaim to my husband and I. Originally her married name was on the deed and now that she is divorced she is using her maiden name. How would she fill out the quitclaim (by using the married name or maiden name) if it is going to be recorded?
Hi Rita,
The language on the quitclaim deed would be slightly different here. Your daughter can put both her names on the deed. However, the verbiage used on the deed would be something like this: " I,....(your daughter's maiden name), formerly known as.....( her married name),....."
This is just a sample verbiage that might be used on the deed. However, to make sure the quitclaim deed is executed smoothly, you better consult an attorney and ask him/her what the exact language on the deed should read like.

my mom has a house in new jersey- she is the sole owner and she wants me to have it AFTER she dies- I was told a quitclaim deed with my name as beneficiary will avoid probate-- is that correct? also is that the same for a house in florida also? Thank you
Hi jef
If your mother transfers the property to you with the help of a quitclaim deed, you'll be able to avoid probate. It is same for Florida as well. However, in order to transfer a property located in Florida in your name, you would require a quitclaim deed of Florida.
Thanks.

I want to add my name on deed to my parents house. My mother is passed away, I have a copy of the death certificate.. The Real Property Recordation and Transfer Tax Form FP 7C - I'm not understanding. Interest transfered? Interested conveyed? ExemptionApplication?
Hi Terrie C!
Welcome to forums!
Has you mother left back a will? If not, then you will have to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and transfer the property in your name.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

my husband and i separated and he gave me the house and i will pay mortgage what kind of deed do i get to make sure he will never have access to my house
Welcome Guest,
You will have to ask your husband to sign a quit claim deed in order to get the property transferred in your name. Once the deed is signed, make sure to notarize and record the deed. Then you can refinance the loan in your name. Thus, your husband will not have access to the property and he won't be liable for the loan.

how do i remove a name from deed
Hi greta!
Welcome to forums!
If you want to remove someone else's name from the property deed, then that person needs to sign a quit claim deed in your favor. If you want to remove your name from the property deed, then you need to sign a quit claim deed to the other co-owner of the property.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
