My husband and I want to put our son’s name on the property deed in the event of our passing, do we need an attorney to do this?
I know it’s called a quitclaim deed.

A quitclaim deed will release your entire right, title and interest in the property to your son. The quitclaim deed must be signed in the presence of a notary. After being signed in the presence of a notary, the quitclaim deed is filed recorded with the County Recorder's Office. It takes effect upon being filed recorded with the County Recorder's Office.
You don't need an attorney for the quitclaim deed.
