I need to file a quitclaim deed to relieve my ex-wife's claim on my (our) property per the terms of our divorce settlement. She has changed her name since the divorce, yet the deed is in her 'married' name. I was thinking of writing something like, ".... the first party, hereinafter called Grantor, Jane Doe, formerly known as Janet Buck, ......". Is this adequate or do I need to more formally cite her legal name change?
