The land is one of the most precious assets that most people hold, it is essential to update the name of the owner (of the property) in the land registration paperwork if the official name of the owner (of the property) changes. A change of name in the land registry aids the property owner in avoiding any kind of land claims and court battles. The following procedure will help you understand how to change land owner name.

Procedure to change name in property documents:

1) Advertisement publishment

You have to advertise the name change in a major daily newspaper like ( Sakal, Hindustan Times, Times of India, Dainik Bhaskar, etc) in your area. The old name, new name, date of birth, father's or husband's name, and home address should all be included in the advertisement. 

2) Affidavit Agreement

Get a notary to create an affidavit for the name change that includes the present name, the new name, the current address, and the cause for the name change. The reason can be anything like marriage, spelling correction. Two people with the rank of newspaper officer must sign the affidavit and it should have a proper stamp on the affidavit document.

3) Visit the land registry office

Following the official change of name, the property owner must go to the land registry office and submit self-attested documentation of his or her new name, along with a small charge. Following the verification of all proofs, the land registry office's license section opens an investigation into the requested name change on the ground. This step is performed to ensure that no illegal activity is carried out under the cover of this name change.

The name correction in property documents is immediately modified in the Land Registry records if the legal name change is successfully verified. The process is completed when documentation is delivered to the owner's address indicating that the name change on the land registration has been accomplished. 

If you want to change the name of the land owner in case you have recently bought the land or after the demise of the previous owner then you will have to apply for land mutation on the land and registry website of your state. You can also visit the land registry office to complete the mutation process.

This answer would have given you a clear idea about how to change land owner name.
