Re: Changing Name on Deed
While you can file new deeds, it really is not necessary and is rarely done if the only reason is a name change due to marriage or divorce. Of course, if the deed is to transfer ownership, such as a spouse/ex-spouse transferring an interest to the other person, the answer would be different.
