A quitclaim deed signed by your wife transferring the house to you will release her entire right, title, and interest in the house.
The quitclaim deed is signed in the presence of a notary. After being signed in the presence of a notary, the quitclaim deed becomes effective upon being recorded (filed with the County Recorder's Office).
