<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Hopefully the title folks will chime in here but why don’t you just treat it as the clerical error that it is? So your PR Deed will say something like Joe Blow, PR for
Decedent One and for Decedent Two “(who took title as ‘Katrina’)”, etc etc. I have seen it handled like this many times.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">I am opening a probate for two Florida decedents for the sole purpose of transferring title to their Washington real property to their Florida revocable trust. Pour over Wills are in place.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">I ran into a glitch. The deed to the real property is in the names of both husband and wife. However, the wife’s name is spelled differently on the deed (Katrina) vs her will and death certificate (Caterina).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">I am concerned about the future consequences of the differing names for title purposes, e.g. should I get a court order through the petition to open probate clarifying the name? (The concern is that someday the
family will want to sell the property, and I want to prevent any issues re clear title.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">Thanks very much for any insight into this odd dilemma.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
