The rules for this vary tremendously from state to state. It is definitely something that you want to have a lawyer do for you rather than trying to do yourself. In some states, there could be additional complicating factors if you have a mortgage or if your husband has debts.

You simply go to the courthouse and file an amendment to the deed. However, since there are two of you, you may want to consider refinancing the mortgage as well to include both of your names, potentially reducing the interest rate.
