Add Partner to California Deed

I need to place my partner’s name on the grant deed for our California home. At the moment the deed lists only me as owner, and my partner is not referenced anywhere on title.

What I’m after is a complete, ready-to-record package that satisfies California county requirements:
• a properly drafted Grant Deed reflecting the new co-ownership vesting (joint tenancy or community property with right of survivorship, your guidance is welcome)
• a matching Preliminary Change of Ownership Report (PCOR)
• simple signing and notary instructions so we can execute everything correctly before heading to the recorder’s office

Please ensure the documents comply with current California Civil Code formatting rules—margins, legal description, assessor’s parcel number, acknowledgment wording, and any documentary transfer tax statement. I’ll supply the existing deed, property legal description, and any personal details you need once we get started.

Acceptance criteria: the recorder’s office should accept the paperwork on the first submission without requiring corrections.
