The simplest way to add a spouse to a deed is through a quitclaim deed. This type of deed transfers whatever ownership rights you have so that you and your spouse now become joint owners. No title search or complex transaction is necessary. The deed will list you as the grantor and you and your spouse as grantees.
Adding a family member to the deed as a joint owner for no consideration is considered a gift of 50% of the propertys fair market value for tax purposes.
The quitclaim deed will ask for: Your name. The name of the person you are transferring some or all of ownership to. A description of the property being transferred. The ownership agreement between the two people.
Per SC Code 12-24-10, there is a state transfer tax, referred to as a deed recording fee. The recording fee is $1.85 for any property valued between $100 and $500. Theres an additional $1.85 for each $500 increment after the first $500 (SC Code 12-24-90).
Quitclaim deeds transfer ownership without any guarantees, which means the grantee could inherit problems like unpaid taxes, liens, or title defects. Since the deed offers no legal protection, there is little recourse if issues arise after the transfer.
