[WSBARP] Re-Titling property after corporate name change

[Bickel, Dwight]

The Secretary of State records of the name change are public records. The ownership of the property automatically changed to the same company as its new name. The next conveyance may be from The DEF Company formerly known as the ABC Company.

Subject: [WSBARP] Re-Titling property after corporate name change

Client is re-branding his company, and decided to change the name.  Client is filing the appropriate amendments with Secretary of State.  No shareholders or ownership percentages are changing.
The company owns some real property.  Once the name change goes through, what's the best  instrument to record the name change with the county records?  A deed does not seem correct, because the re-titling is not an actual conveyance.
Thanks for your input!
