Should she instruct a property lawyer to update the land title information for the house?

The is no need to bring up to date the title for the property as long as you have the evidence needed to show how the name change resulted.

Any purchaser’s conveyancer will review the registered information and ask for evidence by way of proof of the change of name e.g. marriage certificates.
