The Quitclaim Deed to Add Spouse is commonly used in Canadian jurisdictions when a property owner wishes to add their spouse to the property title, typically after marriage or during estate planning. This type of deed transfers the grantor's interest without any warranties of title, creating joint ownership between spouses. The document is particularly relevant in situations involving matrimonial homes, estate planning, or fulfilling matrimonial property obligations. It must comply with provincial land registration requirements, family law legislation, and may have tax implications under the Income Tax Act. The deed requires proper execution before authorized officials and must be registered with the appropriate land registry office. Usage varies by province, with some jurisdictions having specific forms or requirements for spousal property transfers.
