[WSBAPT] title question

[Sharon Rutberg]

Hello, Listmates -

 

Clients are a married couple. He purchased the house they live in before
they married and only his name is on the title. She helps pay the mortgage.
They wish to have it treated as community property. 

 

We are doing a simple Community Property Agreement stating that the house is
their community property (as well as clarifying the status of some other
property). Do you see any compelling reason also to create a new deed naming
them both as owners? I suppose he would quitclaim to the two of them as a
married couple. 

 

As always, thanks for your wise guidance.

 

Sharon
