What Is It

Interspousal Transfer Deed — Explained Simply

An interspousal transfer deed in California transfers real property between married spouses. Unlike a quitclaim deed, this specialized instrument includes statutory language that protects you from documentary transfer tax and Prop 13 property tax reassessment.

Under Proposition 13 and California Revenue & Taxation Code Section 63, transfers between spouses are automatically excluded from reassessment. Your property taxes stay the same — you keep your existing Prop 13 base year value. No separate claim is needed.

We prepare and e-record your interspousal transfer deed same day for a flat $275 — in Santa Clara County, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Sacramento, and every other California county.

Important

Don't Use a Quitclaim — Use the Right Deed

Many people mistakenly use a quitclaim deed for spousal transfers. A quitclaim does not include the statutory exemption language that prevents Prop 13 reassessment and transfer tax.

An interspousal transfer deed is drafted with the required Revenue & Taxation Code Section 63 language. Without it, the county assessor may reassess your property to current market value — potentially adding thousands per year to your property taxes.

We prepare the correct interspousal deed with all statutory citations, legal descriptions, PCOR, and transfer tax exemption declarations — accepted on first submission in all 58 California counties.

When You Need One

Common Reasons for an Interspousal Deed

Adding Spouse After Marriage

One spouse owns property before marriage and wants to add the other to title — no Prop 13 reassessment.

Removing Spouse — Divorce

Transfer property interest as part of a divorce settlement. Must be recorded within 1 year of judgment.

Refinancing Your Home

Lenders often require one spouse off title temporarily so the other can qualify independently for the loan.

Community to Separate Property

Convert community property to sole and separate — common in estate planning and asset protection strategies.

Funding a Living Trust

Transfer marital property into a living trust for estate planning with proper title vesting.

Correcting Title Vesting

Change how title is held — community property, joint tenants, or community property with right of survivorship.

FAQ

Interspousal Transfer Deed Questions

What is an interspousal transfer deed?

A legal document that transfers real property between married spouses in California. It includes the required Revenue & Taxation Code Section 63 exemption language that protects the transfer from documentary transfer tax and Prop 13 reassessment.

Will my property taxes increase?

No. Transfers between spouses are automatically excluded from Prop 13 reassessment under California law. Your base year value stays the same. No separate claim is needed — the deed itself contains the exemption language.

Why not use a quitclaim deed?

A quitclaim deed does not include the statutory exemption language. Without it, the county assessor may flag the transfer and reassess your property at current market value — potentially adding thousands per year in increased taxes.

Can you record in my county?

Yes — all 58 California counties. Santa Clara, Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange, Sacramento, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, and every other county.

How long does it take?
