The Quitclaim Deed For Name Change is a critical document in Canadian property law used when a property owner has legally changed their name and needs to maintain clear title to their property. This document becomes necessary after marriage, divorce, or other legal name changes to ensure property records accurately reflect the owner's current legal name. The deed transfers all rights, title, and interest in the property from the owner's previous name to their new name, without making any warranties about the title's quality. It must comply with provincial land registry requirements and typically requires notarization. The document includes detailed property descriptions, reference to name change documentation, and proper execution formalities to ensure its validity. A properly executed Quitclaim Deed For Name Change helps prevent future title issues and maintains a clear chain of ownership in property records.
