My wife and I got a divorce. When we were married, we bought a house together.
She gave me the house in the divorce, but her name is still on the deed. She has since changed her name back to what it was before the divorce.
I am getting a quitclaim deed together and I was wondering, for the Grantor, do I need her legal name or the name that's on the deed? Also, My name is on the deed to, should I be a Grantor and the Grantee?

Welcome Derick,
When your wife signs the quitclaim deed in your favor, she will have to sign her married name as the grantor as that name is mentioned on the property deed. You will be the grantee to the property. For further details in this regard, you will have to contact a real estate attorney.
