Grantor = Grantee on Quitclaim Deed? Name Change Only
When my divorce was finalized in 2006, my lawyer used a quitclaim deed to transfer a condo-property that was owned jointly between my husband and I into my name solely. It was a fairly simple process, and the deed was indeed changed into my name with no issue. However, since then, I have resumed the use of my Maiden name, which is not what is on the deed (therefore it's a pain to check in when I stay there or call them, the tax bills come in the wrong last name, etc.). I was told by the Condo-legal folks that they cannot simply change the name on the property, that I must file a NEW quitclaim deed to change the name. Ok that's fine...
The problem is that I want to do this myself, since I still have all the information and the original Quitclaim deed to refer to - but, none of the example wording I have been able to find online show a person transferring a property to themselves simply to change the name. Basically, the Grantor and Grantee would both be ME, just my last name is different on the Grantee line. So I'm not sure how to word much of the deed. I mean, does it even make sense to pay myself to transfer the property? Can anyone please advise me on language to include in the Quitclaim deed to clarfiy my need?:confused: Most appreciative! |

I would first check with the county clerk's office where the deed is registered and ask them how to effect a name change.
If you do have to deed it to yourself (and you shouldn't), then its simply a matter of deeding it from Jane Smith to Jane Doe. You just need to prove that you are both Jane Smith and Jane Doe to a notary. |

You have to prepare the deed with the Grantor being your former name and the Grantee being your maiden name. The consideration should be listed as $1.00. After you copy the legal description from the previous deed you should add a paragraph that says "The purpose of this Deed is to revise the Grantor's name."
