How do I change the name on my deed?

A deed is an official document, recorded at the county level. A new deed has to be recorded to add or delete anyone from the official record of ownership. We recommend that you seek legal assistance from an attorney or title company specializing in property transactions. If you are listed as a Joint Tenant, no change is required but is recommended. You will need to bring an original certified copy of the death certificate to the Tax Assessor.
