Adding a new name to DVC Deed

[KemlynUltra]

Have any fellow Dibbers had any experience of adding a new name to your DVC deed?

We foolishly only put my name on the purchase of 3 contracts and I now want to add my wife.

I’ve done some research and it seems to cost a lot to do it via a legal firm but relatively inexpensive to do it yourself.

The bit that I’m particularly interested in is if anyone has ever filed their own deed to the Orange County Comptroler from the UK.

Bit different but I removed a name from DVC contract & it could only be done by filling out the DVC forms & then getting them certified & submitted by an American attorney, as it classed as a property ownership it needed to be done by a professional, it cost me £350.

I also have a copy of the request letter, if you need it? we wanted to add DS, as he was too young at the time, but this seems more hassle than it's worth!

Thanks all. On the face of it it doesn’t look like a lot of work to draft my own replacement deed (just copying my original one) but just wanted to see if anyone else had done this to get some advice. I’ll keep researching as First American are expensive!
