If real estate is owned by a woman in her maiden name, but she has since married and is using her husband's name. The original deed shows her maiden name. How should she be listed on the deed when she conveys the property to a new owner?

Hi runterman!

Welcome to forums!

The married woman will have to transfer the property deed from her maiden name to her married name. She can use a quitclaim deed in order to do so. In that deed, she should mention her maiden name as the grantor of the property and her married name as the grantee to the property. Then she'll have to notarize and record the deed at the county recorder's office.

Thus, once the property is transferred in her married name, she can convey it to the new owner of the property.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

i guess that quit claim idea is fine, but you can also do a simple change of name by marriage affidavit and have it filed in the land records. a one-pager, and that'll save you on recording fees for a 3-page qc deed.
