My husband and I bought our house last year just before we got married so the title is in my maiden name. How do I go about changing my name to my married name? We have a mortgage and are in California.

Hi Kara,

If both of you have your names on the property deed, then both of you will have to sign a quit claim deed wherein you should write your maiden name along with your husband's name as the grantor of the property. As the grantee, you will have to mention your married name and your husband's name. As there's a mortgage on the property, you'll have to inform the lender about this change of maiden name into married name.

Thanks
