Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey
Can this quit claim deed form be used to change my maiden name to my married name on my property title?
2 Answers from Attorneys
That will probably not accomplish your purpose. There is really no need to change the name on the deed since the tax collector is not bothered by using your married name and you will still have to prove your marriage to the buyer's title company when you sell the property. Additionally, if the propery is mortgaged, the lender will not permit you to change the name on the deed unless you redocument the loan and that can get expensive.
