<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Greetings Listmates - </div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">I have a Deed of PR that I need to write. However, I am dealing with a multiple name situation and I would love to get some suggestions so that in 15 years when the parties go to sell, they won't
run into a title problem. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Single Family Home originally purchased by M & D, Sibling 1, and Sibling 2. Sibling 1 is the Decedent. For educational purposes Sibling 1 was identified on the original deed as David Scott Alan Johnson. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Years later there was a Deed of Trust issued where they are identified as David Smith* </div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">*also known as David Scott Alan Johnson. (this notation is actually on the Deed of Trust)</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">When probate was opened, it was opened using the name on the Death Certificate: Scott Alan Smith. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">The death certificate has an AKA notation of David Smith. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">As I am now transferring the interest to their adult child and I would love thoughts on if I should just list all of the names, even the original (pre-marriage) name as part of the PR Deed where I
normally have a statement that reads:</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua", serif; font-size: 12pt;">as authorized by an Order entered in each of the above-referenced the probate matters on July 23, 2024, to settle the Estate of</span> ......
and then just include (Decedent is also known as.....) and then list all of the names contained in the original purchase Deed and then the Deed of Trust?</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Or something else. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Appreciate any insights!</div>
