You can use a quitclaim deed form online. You would need to quitclaim the property to yourself and your daughter so you both end up as co-owners, typically 50/50 (N.J. Stat. Ann. § 46:3-6). If you list only your daughter, she would receive full ownership. The legal property description should come from your existing deed.

I understand. Have you already discussed this plan with your daughter or other family members?

Yes.

Lexi, Chatbot

Are you the sole owner of the property, or are there other owners involved?

Just me.

Lexi, Chatbot

Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you?

No.

Hi there! My name is Liz, and I’ve been an attorney for more than a decade. What concerns do you have with the quitclaim deed?

Where can I get it and add my daughter as co-owner?

Elizabeth

Okay, so I can fill that form out then?

Elizabeth

Yes. Once it’s completed, it needs to be notarized and then filed with the county recorder’s office.

Thank you so much.

Elizabeth

You’re very welcome! Have a wonderful day!
