 TITLE: How to Change the Title of Your Home CONTENT: Can You Change the Title Name on Your Home?\n-------------------------------------------\nIt's possible to get a title change on your home's deed, though this is different from changing the name on the mortgage. The deed is the legal ownership document that's on file with the government, whereas the mortgage is a loan through a lender.\nWhen you have a mortgage, your lender has an interest in your property and the lender can foreclose if you don't make good on the loan. Once you pay off your mortgage, your county government typically releases the home's deed to you now that you are the sole owner.\nThe process of changing title names on a home varies by circumstance and state. Some may require you have an attorney or title company prepare a new deed for you. END
