Dear Mr. Silvestri,
Am I correct in assuming that the deed is currently in your name alone? if so, is there a mortgage on the property? Typically what needs to be done is to have a quitclaim deed prepared but there are also documentary stamp taxes that will need to be calculated and paid based on the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage(s). Additionally, if the property is a condo or located in an area that has a homeowners association, you will probably need to get written approval. I am a real estate attorney and handle matters such as these all the time. If you would like to discuss in more detail, please call me at 305.854.0500.
With regards,
Cheryl Julien Kaufman, Esq.
