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.
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.

Going through a divorce was incredibly stressful, but Lani handled my case with empathy and professionalism. She provided clear legal advice while also being understanding of the emotional challenges involved. I felt supported throughout the entire family law process.

Tagged solicitor Luke Cheshire
Honestly I can't recommend Albin and Co Solicitors especially Luke Cheshire from the Reading base enough. He was absolutely amazing from the very beginning, right up till the very end. He was extremely professional and explained everything to me everytime and was absolutely amazing with my self. He took the time to get to know myself and my daughter and helped my daughters voice be heard. My daughter has many complex needs and he done his absolute best to make sure everyone understood her needs to make sure the outcome was what was best for my daughter. He's so patient and was there no matter what when I needed to speak to him etc. He truly got to know myself and my family and always made myself feel comfortable and safe. He was always made available throughout the whole year and half he was invovled and I never felt alone in any of it. Albin and Co are truly professional and truly have the best interests of their clients at heart. Thank you for everything Luke and the team, you were truly Amazing and held me together through such a hard time! You went above and beyond for myself and my family. Amazing Solicitors who are nothing more then professional and truly are lovely. Thank you!

Tagged solicitor Michelle Collins
I have worked with the Private Client team for nearly a decade (relating to post-bereavement matters) and have found them responsive, knowledgeable and - most importantly - able to speak in plain English. The issues I have faced have felt complex and overwhelming. They have helped me to understand what's needed and helped me put in a plan to work through and resolve issues.

Tagged solicitor Peter Martin
I obtained a second opinion from Peter Martin on several matters where my existing solicitor had been failing in both service and explanation of the status with my divorce case, and a brief review of the way forward for applying for probate in respect of my late mothers estate . I found Peter to be extremely knowledgeable and straight to the point. The advice given has probably saved me further expense and valuable time, and has clarified my position in respect of a formal complaint against my divorce case solicitor. I would be pleased to recommend him.
