I suspect that she will just be asked to provide a copy of her marriage papers to the conveyancing practitioner however she is concerned it could frustrate the sale of the property. Should she instruct a conveyancer to update the land title details for the house?

It is not absolutely necessary to bring up to date the register on the basis that you have the proof needed to demonstrate how the change of name occurred.

The purchaser’s conveyancer will examine the title details and ask for evidence to prove the change of name for example marriage documentation.
