Hi Everyone, does anyone have experience of doing this? I am wanting to add my husbands details on to the deeds of my house. Have 'googled' it but the form on the Government website looks complicated - has anyone submitted it themselves or have you used a solicitor instead? Any information would be a great help. Thanks

Do you have a mortgage?0

OP - you don't add people onto the deeds. You transfer them a share in the property.
On the basis that in marriage in the absence of a prenup - then i am assuming this is for tax reasons?0 -
It's very straightforward - providing there is no mortgage.
If there's a mortgage:
a) the lender must agree and
b) the lender will appoint a solicitor
If no mortgage, complete forms
* AP1 (to apply)
* TR1 (to transfer)
* ID1 (to prove who you are)

Whether taking advice from here or a solicitor, I would strongly suggest you briefly describe why you want to do this.
As explained by others, adding your husband to the deeds could be another way of saying "I want to give away 50% or 100% of my house to my husband" which may be exactly all you want to achieve but if there are other reasons then responses may be different...Every generation blames the one before...

Hello, I have a joint mortgage with my brother. I would like to add my husband onto the deed. I know this is a bit of a rigamaroll, so *should* something happen to me, would it be the same outcome if I left my share of the house to my husband? About 10yrs left on the mortgage. Im assuming, reading through the comments, Id have to add my hub onto the mortgage if I add him on to the deed?0

Are you tenants-in-common with your brother?
You can leave your interest in the property to your husband in your will.
Do you have life insurance in place to cover the mortgage?
Or is it possible for your husband to buy out your brother?0
