This area covers the steps people take to change how their name appears on official documents and records, typically starting with a surname or forename change for adults or children. It includes when a deed poll or statutory declaration is used, and what happens when the change relates to linking identity with employment, banking, or family life. A solicitor in this area helps you prepare the necessary documents, guides you through eligibility, and handles any required notices or applications. The work may hinge on procedural steps, timing, and official acceptance by relevant registers.

Where a solicitor protects your position

Changing a name can affect legal identity and evidence of name, with consequences for documents, contracts, and records. A solicitor provides guidance on the correct form of change, ensures the documents are properly completed, and advises on any potential disputes or delays in recognition by banks, employers, or authorities. They also explain the limitations of a name change and how to update records across institutions to avoid conflicts.

Orla OConnor

Tagged solicitor Orla OConnor

I would very strongly recommend Stowe Family Law. I have used Stowe for various legal proceedings for children’s and family finance related cases and they have been excellent. Throughout litigation, I have dealt with many members of staff at Stowe and they have all been extremely helpful and competent. I instructed Orla O’Connor for the legal proceedings. Orla is incredibly knowledgable and thorough, offering sound advice and managing my case, which was particularly challenging at times, very professionally. Orla was able to achieve my desired outcome at the final hearing and conclusion of my child order application. I cannot recommend Orla (and Stowe) highly enough !

Brian Fraser

Tagged solicitor Brian Fraser

After 18 months of torture following a horrible separation and floundering around with a number of awful lawyers clearly only interested in getting paid I stumbled across Brian at Elite Law. As with most lawyers I got the one hour free intro phone call but I knew I was on the right track when the hour was well and truly over but he still called me back to finish the story and I genuinely felt that he heard me and understood what I was going through. In the following days he came back to me with a plan and reassured me that he knew what to do and this turned out to be true. Over the following months he continued to reassure me that my position was solid and explained the law and his plan for what to do. He communicated well despite probably having many other clients and the advice he gave me turned out to be exactly the right thing to do which ended with a far more positive result than I had reconciled myself with when we first spoke. I would never have thought to do what we did but it got me the right result and I am forever grateful. Brian was part therapist at the beginning and part friend at the end and it was worth every penny.

Andrew Foulds

Tagged solicitor Andrew Foulds

I came to Andrew after spending years in family court with another firm, trying to relocate to another country. We had been going round in circles with no progress. As a last resort, I contacted Andrew Foulds and within just a few months of him dealing with the situation, everything was finally resolved. We’re now happily living abroad. I really appreciate Andrew’s straight-talking approach and the way he gets things done.

Maya LalTim Ridyard

Tagged solicitors Maya Lal and Tim Ridyard

If you are looking for legal representation for yourself or possibly a son or daughter, especially if its a delicate matter, then simply, look no further, we were left in a very unfortunate position where for some unknown reason, at the last minute the legal firm we had, decided to stop representing my son, Ashtons Legal stepped in, and all i can say is they were unbelievable in every way, we were 100 percent confident that they were really fighting our sons corner, yes they were exceptionally professional but more than that, they really showed compassion and understanding for what we were going through and yes the result they achieved in court was far better than we ever expected. It is so difficult picking the right legal representation, our worry was always have we picked the right one, simple answer yes we did we chose Ashtons.
