I bought a house in my name in 2007 after marriage. At that time, I had my PAN card and bank accounts in my maiden name. So, the house was registered in my maiden name. Later, I changed the name in my PAN card and bank accounts when I added my husband’s surname to my maiden name. Now, the house is registered in my maiden name, while all my documents and IDs have my husband’s surname added to my name. Will this anomaly create a complication later if I plan to sell the house or plan to bequeath it? What do I need to do to avoid this complication in future?
