Name change written on padThis is the first post in a series which will discuss the process of changing one’s legal name in the state of Florida. I decided to write on this issue due to the fact that a name change can be important to simplifying one’s life. Not knowing how to complete the process, however, can result in an individual not achieving their desired result. The goal of my coming articles is to provide information which will assist with the completion of a name change. It is also my goal to provide information which will assist with the selection of an attorney. If you are in need of assistance then contact my office to speak with a Melbourne name change lawyer. I also serve all of Brevard County and other areas.

I will address multiple topics over my coming articles. Issues which I will analyze include:

  • Florida’s process for completing a name change
  • The benefits of legally changing your name
  • The benefits of hiring an attorney to assist you

I have chosen to address these topics for multiple reasons. First, while the process of changing one’s name may seem straightforward, there are a series of steps which must be followed. Failing to do so can result in your request being denied. Second, there are several benefits of going through this process. These can include having the same name as one’s children, dealing with a troubled past, and avoiding confusion due to having the same name as a family member. Third, having an attorney assist you can help to ensure that the matter is handled correctly from start to finish.
