The people on the existing deed create and sign a new deed by which they convey the property from themselves to themselves and the additional owner. This new deed now has all of them on it.

You need to consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options. If you wish to add a co-owner to your deed you must have a new deed drafted that transfers ownership from you to you and your co-owner. There are legal consequences to adding a co-owner to the title to your property and you should understand them before making that transfer. Also, deeds should always be drafted by a professional because errors in deeds made by non-professionals can be costly to correct if they can be corrected. The fees for this transaction shouldn't be very high but having the advice of an attorney will be well worth it.

Generally, the current owner executes a new deed to herself and the other person. There may be complications if you have a mortgage on the property. Also, you must decide how you and the co-owner will hold title.

The attorney will explain the various tenancies by which you can choose to hold title, especially if you wish to hold title by survivorship. The new deed must be recorded in the land records.
