didyousearch was correct but I wouldn't advise you filling it out yourself. You need to speak to a Title Agent or real estate attorney. There are specific clauses the need to be on the deed to convey it properly for example marrital status and or a homestead clause. There are others that could possibly be needed as well.

Go to a stationary store and get a quit claim deed, fill it out, the ownership will be going from YOU to YOU and HIM, take it into your county's recorders office and record your deed. Most states exempt the creation of marital property from excise taxes normally due on a property ownership transfer, so you will probably only have to pay recording fees.. . Please understand that you are transfering ownership rights to the other person. Consider all of the possible future ramifications and consult an attorney if you are unsure.
