I purchased a home in 1998 as an unmarried woman. The name the title was issued was my married name. Now I have had my name changed back to my maiden name. Nothing else has changed and I am the only name on the mortgage and deed. Do I need to do a Quitclaim deed from my married name to me with my new maiden name? Should this be done now or when the property is sold?
Hi Sharon,
As you've changed your married name to your maiden name, it should reflect in your property deed as well. Thus, you should sign a quit claim deed wherein your married name will be mentioned as the grantor of the property and your maiden name will be the grantee to the property. It will be your discretion whether or not you should do it now or while you sell off the property.
Thanks
