<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

and "for no consideration and merely to change the name in which title is held," name only their new names as Grantees.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">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? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
