We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

How many people can be on a deed in California?

Joint, common, or community ownership or co-ownership means simultaneous ownership of a given piece of property by several persons (two or more). Tenancy in common exists when several (two or more) persons are owners of undivided interests in the title to real property.

Who benefits the most from a quitclaim deed?

The quitclaim deed simply transfers any interest they may have to the other party. Because of the lack of title guarantees, quitclaim deeds are most often used to transfer property between two parties who know and trust each other, such as family members.

Can you add multiple people to a deed?

The best way is to create a new deed listing all of the owners as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. If you simply add someone to your current deed, they become a co-owner, but they may not have rights of survivorship, and the property may still need to go through probate.

What are the risks of a quitclaim?

However, this approach has certain risks, so its not always the best option. Using a quitclaim deed might create tax issues or result in a loss of control of the property after the transfer. Additionally, the property could still require probate if you dont handle the transfer correctly.

Can a quit claim deed transfer property from a trust?

A quit claim deed is a type of deed that transfers an interest in real property, like a house, vacant land to another. Quit claim deeds are often used instead of warranty deeds when transferring property out of the trust.

How many people can you put on a quitclaim deed?

You can put as many people as you want as grantees on a quit claim deed. However, the problem with putting all of your children on the property as 1% owners is that you would be giving each of your children a veto power if you want to sell or mortgage the condo.
