Greetings, all! I am drafting a deed transferring a property from an estate to the beneficiary. The prior deed, from nearly 30 years ago, in the metes and bounds, references a street that is now known as a different name. The title company noted that the 1968 tax map has the old name and confirmed the street appears to bear the new name, but title does not have an official reference of the changed name. After tracking the language from the 1999 deed, I want to add an additional clause, for example, “Said Main Street is now known as Center Street”. I will refrain from saying it is "designated as", since I do not have the reference. Does anyone see a problem with doing so? Would it be wiser to leave as is? (I think not, but I defer to the groups cumulative wisdom.) Sean -- Sean C. Eccles, Esq. The Law Office of Sean C.
