Youd talk to a real estate lawyer. Also talk to an accountant (as well as the lawyer) to make sure that adding someone on the deed will accomplish what you want.
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.
In the state of Washington, the transfer of real property must be completed with a deed. The deed has specific requirements. For example, it must be in writing and signed by the person transferring the property (the grantor).
Add a Spouse. To do so, you sign a quitclaim deed conveying the property from you, to both you and your new spouse as a married couple. This adds your spouse to title and creates community property.
Both the grantor and the grantee must sign it, usually in the presence of a notary. Then the deed must be filed in the county registrars office to be legally enforceable. Once filed, the legal transfer of the property is complete.

No, you can not add anyone to a mortgage without refinancing. Exactly why do you want to burden your new wife with a mortgage?
At the time your quitclaim deed is recorded, you will need to pay a filing fee and any reassessed property taxes based on the change in ownership. The filing fee should be minimal, under $100, with most states charging under $50. The cost will depend upon your county and state.
For example, a quitclaim deed would be used for a name change on a warranty deed, such as to add a new spouse or a child to the title, or to remove the name of a spouse following a divorce. A quitclaim deed also can be used to correct mistakes.
