<p class="MsoNormal">Not having done one of these myself before, I am wondering whether this type of transfer would violate any terms of existing loan documents (if the property is subject to a traditional mortgage)? Perhaps married couples are exempt due to
community property laws, but I would love feedback from someone who knows. Sharing in the title without directly becoming responsible to the lender may contradict terms of the loan. I know that in other contexts, any kind of transfer of full or even partial
property rights will often trigger the due on sale clause due to being a violation of the loan terms. <br>
<br>
Thoughts? <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">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.
