For security, maybe take title as a LLC or trust with whatever name they want, and use initials in corporate filings.
Good luck.

It’s always been my understanding that a person can use any name, they like, even without legally, changing their name, as long as they are not using that name for fraudulent purposes. As a result, I believe that she can simply deed the house to whatever name she likes. However, she will need to deed the property from the existing name, and so the deed will show the existing name, and the signature line will show the existing name. As a result, she might need to deed the property twice in order to get her full name off of the last recorded deed.

Dear Listmates,
PC’s husband passed away and as the PR, she is transferring his half of the home to herself via a PR deed. She lives in the home with their minor children and has security concerns.
She is already on title with her full name. She now wants to hold title as J.J. Jones instead of, say, Janis Jane Jones. Name obviously is for example purposes only.
I cannot think of a way to accomplish this, but, she states that she and her husband had that done in Oregon (held title to real property there as individuals).
Thanks.
