It can not be done.The prpeprty can be transfered from one eprson to another but the name appearing in the deed can not be altered.

There is no need to do so either. She will continue to be its owner and she is free to sell it to anyone she wishes. Her change to new name will not cause any hindrance.

1. The sale deed has been registered in favour of her name with her earlier husband's surname.

2. She should now execute an affidavit before a 1st class Judicial Magistrate affirming that after her divorce fromk her 1st wife and marriage with yourself, her surname has got changed which are required to be reflected in all her documents/papers etc.and she should be named with her current surname.

3. Thereafter she should publish the gist of the affidavit in local Newspaper for public viewing.

4. After completion of all the above steps she will be known with your surname and she with her earlier surname and she with her current surname will be considered as the same person legally.

5. While selling or dealing with her flat, she can write her name with her current surname (though the sale deed mentions her earlier surname) which will be accepted by the Registrar.

Dear Client,

There`s no need to change the name in the sale deed, in case she want to sell the property, only she need to add in a introduction clause, that now she addresses with XYZ name due to her second marriage and person named in previous sale deed/gift deed and person executing new deed are same person. no complications,

Still want to change than execute supplementary deed - correction deed, but need to sign by both the parties also it is executed to rectify mistake and in ur case , its change of situation caused change in name, still can try and apply.

This is really not necessary. However, if you still wish to do this, get the old name revised with the new one by way of moving a requisite application before the Revenue Office.

Adduce necessary evidences in support.

First get your marriage registered as per the relevant rule and then on the basis of the said marriage certificate write a letter to the appropriate authority of the co-operative society to change the name in the marriage certificate.

An affidavit to this effect will have to be sworn before the judicial magistrate of first class that she has married you after getting divorce from the first husband.

Moreover, I would not advise you to change the same as the same is not mandatory. Later at the time of selling the flat a clause to this effect can be added.

name appearing in the deed of conveyance cannot be changed. you can change the municipal record by executing an affidavit that old name and new name belongs to same and identical person.

the change of name took place due to marriage and remarriage.

The name in the property documents cannot be changed,

Alternately she can make an affidavit stating that the name in the proeprty documents and her present names are one and the same.
