Quick Claim Deed
My husband and I own our home.
He is in our county jail. We
have both agreed to quick claim
our house to our daughter. How
can we do that? Does a lawyer
go to the jail?

A quitclaim deed will release your and your husband's entire right, title, and interest in the property to your daughter.
You don't need an attorney. The quitclaim deed is signed in the presence of a notary. A notary would go to the jail, but you will have to contact the jail to inquire if that is allowed.
After being signed in the presence of a notary, the quitclaim deed becomes effective upon being recorded (filed with the County Recorder's office).
