My wife and I bought a lot from my parents but my dad died prior to transferring our names to the deed. This was subsequently placed on the back burner and overlooked for a couple of years until I noticed that the tax bills had my parents name on it. I contacted my mother and she signed a quitclaim deed with myself as the grantee rather than my wife and myself. I want to rectify this however, since this all occurred, my wife and my mother have had a terrible falling out and don't speak. Nevertheless, the lot should be listed in both my wife and my name. If I bring this up my wife is going to think that this was an intentional omission of her name on the deed. Can I simply sign a quitclaim deed granting the property from myself to myself and my wife without having to have her sign it?

Yes. Go to the Real Estate Law forum. Near the top is a sticky post that explains how to add someone to a deed. The person you're adding doesn't need to sign it.

Yes you may
