When you own a home, you hold the title, which affirms you possess both the responsibilities and the legal rights to that property. At closing, when you purchased the house, you’ll receive the deed: the legal document that transfers title to you. Many different events can require a name change for the owner of a house, such as marriage or correcting a typographical error. The title changes when you file a corrected deed for the property.
