California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 2 — Property, Part 4 — Acquisition of Property, Title 4 — Transfer, Chapter 2 — Transfer of Real Property, Article 1 — Mode of Transfer, Section 1096
Any person in whom the title of real estate is vested, who shall afterwards, from any cause, have his or her name changed, must, in any conveyance of said real estate so held, set forth the name in which he or she derived title to said real estate. Any conveyance, though recorded as provided by law, which does not comply with the foregoing provision shall not impart constructive notice of the contents thereof to subsequent purchasers and encumbrancers, but such conveyance is valid as between the parties thereto and those who have notice thereof.
Notes
Requires a real-estate owner whose name later changes to state in any conveyance the name under which title was acquired. A noncompliant conveyance remains valid between the parties and persons with notice, but even if recorded it does not give constructive notice of its contents to later purchasers or encumbrancers.
