Hi kkea,

You can first change your name is property deed and record it at the county recorder's office. Once you do so, then you can refinance the loan and mention your married name on the mortgage documents.

Take care.

How do I change my name on the property deed? Contact the court house?

Hi Kimberly,

If you want to change the maiden name on the property deed to the marital one, then you need to sign a quit claim deed mentioning the maiden name as the grantor of the property and the marital name as the grantee to the property. You can then notarize the deed and record it at the county recorder's office.
