[WSBARP] Change of names

[Eric Nelsen]

Several ways, but I think the easiest would be for the parents to recite, in the new deed, the grantees as "Son-new and DIL-new, husband and wife, who previously took title to an interest as son-old and DIL-old, husband and wife." That at least makes clear in a deed of record that the different names designate the same people.

Another way--once they receive the deed from parents, son and DIL execute a new deed to themselves, reciting both their old and new names as Grantors as above, and "for no consideration and merely to change the name in which title is held," name only their new names as Grantees.

Sincerely,

Eric

Subject: [WSBARP] Change of names

I have a situation where a house was titled in parents and their son and daughter-in-law’s names, as tenants in common. The parents will be removed from the title, but the son and daughter-in-law’s names changed since they initially took title. So, the 50% that the son and daughter-in-law will get from their parents will be titled in their new names but they also want to have their original 50% titled in their new names too. I am trying to figure out how I can word it to achieve that – any thoughts?

Thanks.
