To add someone to a property deed, you must create and file a new deed that includes both names, as you cannot modify the existing one. This involves drafting a new deed (often a quitclaim deed), having it signed by all parties in front of a notary, and then recording it with your local county recorder's office, which may involve fees and potentially tax reassessments. It's crucial to consult a lawyer or financial advisor to understand the significant and financial implications before proceeding, especially concerning mortgages and taxes.
