Property and deeds
Adding a name, transferring the house, or fixing a typo on the title — I'll prepare the paperwork the county needs.
In plain words
A deed is the paper that says who owns the property. I prepare the deed forms you tell me to prepare, whether that's for changing the title, transferring the house to a family member, fixing a mistake, or recording a packet with the county.
This might be a fit if…
- You want to add your husband, wife, or one of your kids to the title of the house
- You need to remove someone from the deed
- You want a transfer-on-death deed so the house doesn't go through probate
- There's a mistake or typo on your old deed that needs to be fixed
- You want to record a homestead declaration to protect your home
How I help
- Prepare quitclaim and grant deeds based on what you tell me
- Prepare transfer-on-death deeds for California property
- Prepare deed corrections (corrective grant deeds)
- Prepare homestead declarations for recording
- Prepare the county recording forms (like the Preliminary Change of Ownership)

One honest note
I'm a registered Legal Document Assistant, not an attorney. I can't give you legal advice, pick documents for you, or speak for you in court. What I can do is prepare your paperwork based on what you tell me. If your situation needs legal advice, please talk to an attorney — I'll tell you straight if I think that's the right call.
