Change of name

If you decide to change your name, Hopleys GMA incorporating Keene and Kelly can help you to do this legally and properly.

People change their name for a variety of reasons. What the law thinks of this is simple. A name change is acceptable unless it seeks to defraud or has some criminal benefit. Simply asking others to call you by your new name could work. A deed poll or statutory declaration is more sensible as other parties and authorities accept more readily a legal document than just your word.

Hopleys GMA incorporating Keene and Kelly can help you change your name simply and easily. A change of name deed is drawn up by one of our expert lawyers and the proper procedure carried out to ensure its legal status. If there are any associated matters to the change of name deed, we can discuss this at the time. You may wish to change the surnames of your children if they are of a certain age. This requires certain consents but we explain this simply, using plain English.

To begin the process of changing your name legally, call us today on 01978 880 276.

Expert legal advice you can rely on:


Family law

There is no such thing as an ‘average’ family, which means there is no such thing as a standard legal service for families. Whether you’re living together, you’re going through a separation, you’re already divorced, there are children involved or extended relatives, speaking to a family solicitor can help everyone see a clear path forward.

Adoption

If you decide to adopt a child, either in the UK or from overseas, having expert legal advice is key. Hopleys GMA Solicitors can support you in this highly complex legal area.

Arrangements for children

When a relationship breaks down and children are involved, your main concern will be to protect their well-being. So it’s good to know that at Hopleys GMA incorporating Keene and Kelly we make your children our number one priority too.

Divorce

Domestic violence

If you’re in a relationship that isn't working for you, either because you feel threatened or are with a violent or abusive partner, it can be difficult to know where to turn to for help - but it’s important not to suffer in silence. Asking for help is the first step to resolving the situation.

Financial arrangements

Deciding to end a relationship is never an easy decision. And whether you’re going through a separation or a divorce, it can be a stressful time. One of the more difficult aspects of any split is agreeing how to deal with financial matters.

Living together

More and more couples are choosing to live together and share their lives without getting married. And whilst emotionally, you may feel no different to a married couple; under the law, couples that live together without getting married do not share the same legal rights as those who marry. This can make things difficult if the relationship breaks down in the future particularly in regards to finance and property. And if children are involved, it’s important to protect their future too.

Prenuptial agreements

Planning a wedding is an exciting time - and also a time when you start thinking about your long-term future. You’re probably looking forward to a long and happy marriage but it’s also natural to wonder what unexpected twists and turns life might bring.

Separation

Making the decision to end a relationship and separate is rarely easy and sometimes you may need professional legal help to ensure the separation process is handled fairly. Whether you’re facing a marriage separation or are ending a relationship after living together, it’s likely that you’ll have lots of questions and concerns. You’ll want to know what will happen regarding your home, possessions and finances. And if children are involved, you’ll want to ensure that their wellbeing is the main priority.
