Change Of Name Deed

Posted on September 24, 2010.
Change Of Name DeedRecently married and changed the name on my mortgage. Should I change the name on the act tooa

I recenlty got married and am changing my name. I bought a house with my boyfriend before getting married. The deed is in my maiden name and his name. The mortgage is in my name and I changed to my new married name. This leaves the act. I need to amend the act to reflect my married name since the mortgage is now in my married namea

The act has two people on this, but the mortgage onea Probably not, but they agreed.

You do not change the act, "you) is both sign a quitclaim deed to the new name, or b) (best way) simply file an affidavit of name change."

The affidavit must state:

1. you are of legal age to make an affidavit
2. you understand the consequences of an oath
3. your name was X, Y and is now under marriage to Z on (date).

Signed, witnessed, and notarized for recording on appropriate land records, and file with the clerk land records.

I would still name .......

I think it appears on the records of the property you are married, but the real action will have the original name. Call the clerk of courts office that records all office documents for your country / city. They would be able to help. If they can not call a title company.

No reason to change your name on the deed, which usually take place via a "correction deed, but I suppose if you wanted to spend the money you could.

When you go to sell the house, you'll likely sign a "person" or "same name" affidavit which shows all the names you've been in soaps, including maiden or nicknames there will be no problems with the title company.
