My aunt completed her conveyancing in Peterlee in 2007. She has got married, widowed and is now remarried. She now wants to the sell the Peterlee property. I believe she will simply be asked to supply copies of the marriage papers to the solicitor but she is anxious it could hold up the conveyancing. Should she appoint a property lawyer to update the land title documents for the property?

It is not absolutely necessary to bring up to date the title for the property on the basis that you have the proof needed to demonstrate how the name change has come about.

Any buyer’s property lawyer should examine the title information and require evidence to establish the change of name for instance marriage documentation.
