Re: Grant deed name change
you can use a form quit claim deed and have it recorded. Its very simple, form is probably on line or can get at stationary store or from a Real Estate Office/Escrow Office.

You can also go to a title company to have it done, because it needs to be notorized. They will charge a very small fee, and can then record it for you as well.
