You should also notify the title company who issued title insurance when the old LLC purchased the property, if there is one. Later on, a title insurer problem will come up when the property is later sold. I had to correct title to real property for a client who came in with an LLC showing its current name and real property in its former name. Did ownership of the LLC change when the LLC changed name?
