[MD] How do I remove a name from a house deed?
My wife and I are looking to remove my name from our current house deed. Is a quitclaim deed the only way to do this, or can we use an interspousal transfer in Maryland?

In Maryland, you can remove your name from a deed using either a quitclaim deed or an interspousal transfer deed. Both are valid options for transferring ownership between spouses.
Here's my recommendation: both methods are fine, but a quitclaim deed is typically simpler and more commonly used unless there’s a specific legal or tax reason to use an interspousal deed (Maryland Tax-Property Code § 12-108(d)(1)).

I understand you’re looking to remove your name from the house deed. Have you already decided on using a quitclaim deed or are you considering other options?
Is quitclaim the only way to do this in MD, or is there an interspousal transfer deed?
Lexi, Chatbot
Are there any specific reasons why you’re considering an interspousal transfer in Maryland instead of a quitclaim deed?
I just want to see what the best way to do it would be.

Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you?
I’m only on the deed, but I’m not on the house loan.
