My father lives in Philadelphia. He recently told me that he wants to add my name to his house. I live in NC. He wants me to go to Philadelphia so that my name can be added. It will be inconvenient for me to take that trip right now. I don't have enough vacation time. Is it true that he doesn't need me up there to add my name? Any info we be greatly appreciated.

No, you don't need to be there. You can get the appropriate papers notorized near you and then mail them. That means finding a "notary public" to witness sign that you indeed signed those papers. The notary public will require your presence and proof of identity. Real estate offices often have a notary public on hand, so do banks. Call ahead and find a convenient time for them to do this if they are willing to do it for free, which they often are.
Lawyers often have a notary public on hand too. Ask your father to have his lawyer fax you the papers and hook you up with a notary public.

You need not be present to have this done. Any needed documents can be faxed to you, signed, notarized in NC, and sent back via FedEx.

I think you definitely need to sign your name to something, and have it notarized that this is indeed your name (otherwise anyone could forge your name to anything). But he could have the papers fed-exed to you, and you could take them to a local notary to make your signature official, and then fed-ex them back.

in south Carolina you can assign power of attorney for a day and have the closing attorney do that for you or your father.

Fex-ex and a notary public should do the trick, so you don't have to be there.
