If the parent dies with a will, the estate must clear probate, first, which could take time and money. After the Probate is cleared then a Quit Claim Deed from the personal representative of the estate to the rightful benificary of the will. can be filed in the County Clerks office, the house is then transferred. However, the benificary will be responsible for the increased value of the home. If the parent died with a Revocable Livng Trust and the house was properly titled in the trust's name , the the successor trustee would transfer the house via a Quit Claim Deed. This is of minimum costs (the preperation of the deed and the County recorder's filing fee.) And with the Trust there is no monies for the benificaries to pay for the property value increase.

∙ 15y agoIf your name has changed you do not need to change it on your deed. After the change you may legally sign documents by signing. "Sarah Graham, formerly known as Sarah Clark". It may also be stated as Sarah Clark, now known as Sarah Graham. You would always sign by using your new name. You could legally execute a mortgage or deed using that method.
To change your deed you can also execute a quitclaim deed to a straw using your old name and have the straw convey right back to you as Sarah Graham, formerly known as Sarah Clark. At common law a deed to yourself was null. For that reason a straw is used in this type of situation.
If you decide that you want a new deed you should seek the advice of an attorney to make this simple change for you.
