Re: [WSBARP] Affidavit of Identity
I was just asking the question to see if it would fit Kate¹s particular
scenario.

I also do title and escrow and that is how we word the grantor language when
someone¹s name has changed since the time that they acquired the property.
In my capacity as a title officer I¹ve only ever asked someone to fill out
an identity affidavit once, but that is primarily because I do business in a
tiny community and I can usually figure out who is who on my own.  Lenders
have their own form that they use if they are involved.  And I¹ve never seen
one recorded.  

If you think that the facts are such that it might not be clear to a title
company in the future, you can always fill out an affidavit (the title
company should have a form) and keep it along with any supporting
documentation in your file for future reference.

Good discussion...thanks for bringing it up.
