talk to a title company or ask the advice of a real estate attorney. If you go through the same one you used when you bought the property to build, they probably won't charge you to give you the info you need.If u own a house joint tenency and then get married, do u change the title?

Not if you both bought it. If you bought it solely in your name and you want to add her to the deed then you need to change it. If your saying her maiden name is on the deed and you want it to be her married name its the same difference and you dont need to change it. If you are the only one on the deed and want to add her you need to call your lender.If u own a house joint tenency and then get married, do u change the title? How and 2 what?
The only change that needs to be made is the wife's name on the land records, if the wife's name has changed after the marriage. This really won't be important until you sell your house. The name on the selling contract (the wife's name at the time of sale) has to match the name that is recorded in the land records. But this also might depend on where you live because each state has their own rules. Check your City Hall for what is required.If u own a house joint tenency and then get married, do u change the title? How and 2 what?
Yes, you need to change your deed to avoid paying inheritance tax. We went to the Lawyer that handled our closing. I think you can go to the courthouse and handle it that way. Just tell them you need to change the deed into your married name, they know what to do. It costs about $45.00If u own a house joint tenency and then get married, do u change the title?

Keep it joint tenancy, but do a name change.
