Adding my wife to the title of my house

[Ben Eiesland]

Hello, I own a house in Oregon and only my name is on the house. I would like to add my wife to the title in case something happens to me. There is no mortgage.

I have called the county to see if I can add her, they said I need to hire a lawyer to do so.

It does not make sense to spend a $1000 or so to hire a lawyer to add a name to a title. Does anyone know the proper way to do this without a lawyer?

Thanks,

Ben
