To become an additional named owner in a deed, you would need to have someone prepare a new deed to be signed by the current owner, granting the property from the current owner to you AND the current owner. The attorney you hire to help do this will explain the different meanings of other words that can be used to describe the intent of your relationship (joint tenants, tenants by the entirety, joint tenants with right of survivorship, tenant for life estate, etc), as well as the risks in being named in the deed (tax liens, mortgages, premises liability, etc).

The easiest method is called a Quit Claim deed. It transfers the property from the current owners to the new owners, which would include all the old owners and those you wish to add. Any title company or law office can help you with it, and as there are few, if any, risks associated with the process, it isn't expensive.

The owner of the property (grantor), has a new deed prepared and transfers ownership to himself and the name of the other person he is adding.

The most common method to transfer an interest in real estate to create a co-ownership is by a quitclaim deed. As long as the grantor is the owner of the property a quitclaim deed can be used to transfer an interest to a co-owner and their title is absolute, subject to encumbrances.

Once the deed is recorded in the land records it will establish title in the grantee(s) as it is defined in the deed. A sole owner can transfer a half interest to another person (or any other proportionate interest) or the sole owner can have a deed drafted that transfers the property to herself and the other person with the desired tenancy. A deed should be drafted by a professional to make certain it is a proper deed for your jurisdiction. Errors in deeds made by non-professionals can be costly to correct if they can be corrected.

Other Views

Use of a quitclaim deed is not the best choice if the property is being transferred to a third party for consideration. Quitclaim deeds do not assure that the title of the property is valid and do not contain warranties or covenants that the grantor is the owner, only owner, of the property. A QC does not guarantee that no other person besides the grantor holds an interest in the property.

The common means used to confirm the ownership of real property by virtue of any type of deed is through a comprehensive title examination performed by a professional. Title examinations are usually required by a lender.

To 'Add' a name to a Quit Claim deed, all of the individuals on the current deed simply sign a new Quit Claim deed with the new name added to the list. NOTE: Asker provided additional details, see the Discussion page where I pasted them.

Any deed that transfers ownership of land should be drafted by an attorney. Errors made by non-professionals can be costly to correct.

Yes! All you have to do is go to the registry of deeds (or your area's equivalent) or a title company with your wife, and do what's called a "quit-claim deed" to get yourself added to the title.
