With a quitclaim deed, you can name your spouse as the property\u2019s joint owner. The quitclaim deed must include the property\u2019s description, including its boundary lines. That is information you can obtain from your current deed. While you must include the amount the grantee is paying for it, don\u2019t use zero as the amount if you are including your spouse. Instead, use $1 as the amount paid. &nbsp;Also, make it clear on the quitclaim deed that the two of you are joint owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will\nneed to have the quitclaim deed notarized with the signatures of you and your\nspouse. Once this is done, the quitclaim deed replaces your former deed and the\nproperty officially is in both of your names. You must record the deed at your\ncounty office. Quitclaim deeds between spouses are usually not affected by tax\nconsiderations \u2013 with some\nexceptions. If your spouse is not a U.S. citizen, the gift tax exemption\nbetween spouses does not apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Homestead\nExemption<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many states\noffer a homestead exemption that results in significant savings on property tax\nbills. It is possible that the addition of your spouse could cause you to lose\nthe homestead exemption, and end up paying a lot more in property taxes. The\nbest way to ensure this won\u2019t happen is by consulting a tax attorney or\naccountant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mortgage\nConsiderations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before\nputting your spouse on the deed, contact your mortgage lender. The lender has\nthe right to refuse to allow you to put someone else on the deed, unless you\nare willing to pay back the loan amount immediately via the common \u201cdue on\nsale\u201d clause in most mortgages. That clause kicks in if you try to change your\ninterest in the house. The good news is that most lenders will waive the due on\nsale clause if you are conveying half of your home to your spouse. Keep in mind\nthat the lender will want to check your spouse\u2019s credit history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want\nto add your spouse to the mortgage, you will generally have to refinance your\nloan. A spouse with bad credit means you will pay a higher rate, so in that\ncase, it doesn\u2019t make sense to add them to the mortgage. On the other hand, if\nyour spouse\u2019s credit score is higher than yours, you might qualify for a lower\nrate. Do the math to ensure the refinancing fees don\u2019t eat into your mortgage\nsavings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Financial\nProblems<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your\nspouse has a history of financial problems, putting them on the deed may have\nconsequences. If your spouse has a judgment against them, either from a\ncreditor or the government, and doesn\u2019t pay it, there is a real possibility a\ncreditor could sue and you are forced to sell your home to pay the debt. While\nthat\u2019s a worst-case scenario, it\u2019s not the only one if your spouse has bad\ncredit. Poor credit on your spouse\u2019s part can render you ineligible for\nrefinancing your home. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Spousal\nPermission<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When\nproperty is titled solely in your name, you can sell it or refinance it on your\nown. Once the property is titled in the names of both spouses, you\u2019ll need your\nspouse\u2019s permission \u2013 and he or\nshe will need yours \u2013 to sell or\nrefinance it. For most couples, this isn\u2019t an issue, but it is important to\nnote that by putting your spouse on the deed you are giving up partial control\nof the property. This is part of vesting of the property, and your spouse now\nhas a vested interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Easier\nProbate<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re\njust married, neither person wants to think about losing their spouse. Yet you\nlikely vowed \u201cUntil death we do part,\u201d and if that\u2019s the case, at some point\none of you will become a widow or widower. When the house is in the names of\nboth spouses, the probate process is easier. However, the title to your home\nshould read \u201cjoint tenancy with right of survivorship\u201d for the smoothest\ntransition at this difficult time. In certain states, this is known as tenancy\nby the entireties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Capital Gains Taxes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Note as of 2023: The information in this section has been verified for accuracy and reflects current regulations and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a single\nperson, you can exempt up to $250,000 for capital gains tax considerations when\nselling your home. Married couples filing jointly can exempt up to $500,000.\nHowever, your capital gains are calculated from your home\u2019s basis, or the\namount you paid for it. If you paid $150,000 for your home years ago and sell\nit for $400,000 years later, you wouldn\u2019t pay capital gains tax on the $250,000\nyou received. When you add your spouse to the deed, however, the spousal basis\nis still what you paid for the property. If you die first, after a long\nmarriage, and your spouse sells that $100,000 house for $750,000, their capital\ngains totaled $650,000, and they must pay capital gains tax on $400,000. An\nalternative is transferring the property to your spouse via a Transfer on Death\n(TOD) deed. When you die, your spouse\u2019s basis is the value of the property on\nyour date of death. That means the house may already be worth $750,000, and\nyour spouse won\u2019t owe a dime in capital gains tax upon the sale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ve just gotten married, and already own a house in your own name.
