Add spouse to deed with quitclaim deed
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?
