I also do title and escrow and that is how we word the grantor language when someone’s name has changed since the time that they acquired the property. In my capacity as a title officer I’ve 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 I’ve never seen one recorded. <br><br>
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.<br><br>
Good discussion...thanks for bringing it up.<br><br>

Grantor, Mary Smith, (now known as Mary Jones), as her separate estate. <br>

An alternative if she wishes to title it in both her and her husband’s name is to state<br>

Grantors, John Jones and Mary Jones, (who acquired title as Mary Smith), husband and wife, <br>

You should not have to record an affidavit of identity. Typically only lenders ask for those, I’ve never had a title company request one. But then, I’m on the east side of the state.<br>

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!<br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>
