Change of Name Deed

Main Content

There are two ways of making a name change official, outside of marriage and civil partnerships or upon a divorce. A Deed Poll or a Change of Name Deed. A Change of Name Deed is a legal document put in place by a solicitor which we can assist you with.

WHY OPT FOR A CHANGE OF NAME DEED?

One of the main advantages of having a solicitor prepare a Change of Name Deed is the certainty of knowing the correct process has been followed and the name change will take effect.

 

CHOOSING A CHANGE OF NAME DEED

The Process Involved With A Change of Name Deed

1.1

The process is usually very straightforward. We will want your basic details: your current name, your new name and your address. We will also ask you the reason for the name change, as the process cannot continue if you are trying to escape debts or criminal liability. 

If the Change of Name Deed is for a child, we will ask for the consent of everyone who has parental responsibility for that child, as this is required for a minor.

Once you have provided this information, we will prepare your Change of Name Deed for signature.

  • Thanks to Rachel and Deborah for the professional manner my case was dealt with and the short period of time taken to have my previous employer admit full liability. Any queries I had always answered promptly, I am very pleased with the amount of money you managed to get me rewarded.

  • I am very happy to recommend Christian Sereni at Barker Son & Isherwood. Christian made the process of applying for Grant of Probate - which initially seemed challenging - a very smooth one. Christian's experience shone through in our first meeting and he continued to offer clear advice at all stages. He was also very quick to reply to messages which allowed us to move at a good pace. Thanks Christian!

    Louisa
  • It was one of the major events in my life so far and I was incredibly nervous and anxious. The team were amazing from start to finish! They kept me informed all the way and supported me through the process. I would highly recommend that if you are considering divorcing and things feel overwhelming, talk with them, they really are human and of course professionals.
