How can I change my name of a deed since I got married?

My deed needs to be updated to reflect my last name due to marriage in my revocable trust.

ANSWER BY MARGARET CROSS-BELIVEAU:

Your name change does not affect the ownership rights. At the time of the sale or transfer out of your revocable trust, the new deed with state your new name and your former name.
