Since you are legally married it does not matter that there is a current mortgage on the property. You are permitted to execute and record a Quitclaim Deed wherein you are the Grantor and then both you and your spouse are the Grantees.

Is there anything else the Real Estate Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with adding your wife's name to the deed despite the existing mortgage.
