Can I put my wife on my mortgage?
You will need to apply to your current mortgage provider to have your partners name added to your mortgage. As you were when you applied for the mortgage, they will be subject to the standard checks such as income and affordability.
Can you add someone to mortgage without refinancing?
It also isn’t possible to add someone new to your mortgage without refinancing the loan as the bank will have to assess their income before they make them liable for the mortgage debt. It should be noted that a mortgage does not imply ownership over a property which is instead denoted by a land title.
How do I put my wife’s name on the house?
The easiest way to grant your spouse title to your home is via a quitclaim deed (Californians generally use an interspousal grant deed). With a quitclaim deed, you can name your spouse as the property’s joint owner. The quitclaim deed must include the property’s description, including its boundary lines.
What does being on the deed of a house mean?
Generally, your name is on the deed to the home, then you you own an interest in it. The bank cannot foreclose since you did not transfer your interest to the bank. This means that you still own your share of the home.
