Usually a title company can handle this issue at time of a transaction, without needing to record an affidavit. A conveyance deed can say something like "Grantor, Jane Newname, an unmarried individual, who took title as Mary Oldname, a married individual, hereby conveys and warrants..." I also usually list both names in the Grantor indexing.
I recently thought of a dodge that I haven't tried but should work--do a quitclaim deed from ""Grantor, Jane Newname, an unmarried individual, who took title as Mary Oldname, a married individual, for no consideration and as a mere change in identity or form, hereby conveys and quitclaims to Jane Newname, an unmarried individual..." Then use the WAC 458-61A-211 exemption to avoid excise tax. That gets indexing under the current name and does it in the chain of title.
Sincerely,

Subject: [WSBARP] Affidavit of Identity
Does anyone have and is willing to share a template for an affidavit of identity? I am exploring options for clearing title to real property when the grantee name differs from the name in which she took title originally due to marriage. Also, in a different case, for a change in the first name. Would recording the affidavit prior to conveying the property under the new name sufficiently serve to connect the chain of title? Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks,
Kate Gamble
