Real property is transferred by a deed and each jurisdiction has its own requirements for a valid deed. Therefore, deeds should always be drafted by a professional. Errors made by non-professionals can be costly to correct and they are usually not discovered for many years- until the next transfer of the property. Once the deed has been properly executed and delivered to the grantee it should be recorded immediately in the land records.

Title to real estate can also be transferred by a Will. In that case, the estate must be probated in order for legal title to pass to the beneficiary.

Can a spouse Quit Claim ownership to their unencumbered home while they are still married?

Not if the home is jointly titled and the other spouse/owner is not agreeable to the transfer/sale. Likewise, if the couple live in a community property state and the home was acquired during the marriage, then both of them have equal rights to the property even if only one person is named on the deed/title. Quit Claims are not the desirable method for transferring/selling of property as they can be easily disputed and they do not guarantee clear title to the person who is acquiring the real estate.

If you inherit a home that is on air land what can you do to own the land that the home is on?

Air land? Generally, in the United States, the only way to obtain the ownership of land is by a deed from the owner that transfers ownership to you. If a person builds a home on land that belongs to someone else, that home will become part of the real estate and will become the property of the owner of the real estate. The person who built the home cannot devise the home to a beneficiary in a will.

How do you add a person to property title?

A person can be added as an owner by executing a new deed and recording it with your county recorder's office. The deed should have the current owner transfer the property to themselves and another. An example would be "John Smith, an unmarried man" granting the home to "John Smith and Rachel Smith, husband and wife as joint tenants". There are several ways to make that change depending on the practice in your jurisdiction and the desired tenancy.Be careful if you have financing tied to the property. Most Deeds of Trust, mortgages or Loan Notes specifically forbid altering the ownership of property that is mortgaged and a transfer of ownership will trigger a "due on transfer" clause. Deed changes should always be drafted by an attorney who specializes in real estate law. Errors made by non-professionals can be costly to correct if they can be corrected.
