Arizona notaries/ RE people

Does anyone know if AZ still requires a "third party" when transferring title on real proprety from one party to the same party. (From John Doe to John Doe) Such as: from John Doe to third party, (usually an attorney) back to John Doe? Thanks!

I notarized a grant deed just yesterday where a married couple was granting title from one version of their names to another; no third party. I've actually never seen a third party in any deeds like that where the grantors were also the grantees.

BTW, FYI The necessity of using a third party (straw man) when conveying property from one party to the same party (Grantor/Grantee the same) was repealed in AZ about ten years ago. 33-431 AZ revised statutes. Guess I'm getting old.
