How do I change my or my child’s surname?
Anyone over 16 years of age can change their name at any time. You can alter any part of your name, add or remove names and hyphens, or edit spelling. A change of name deed is necessary to prove a change.
We can draft the necessary deed for you to sign. It is a quick and easy procedure, and we will have the deed ready for your signature when you first come to the office.
How much does a change of name deed cost?
We charge £120 for a simple deed.
Certain rules and sometimes additional procedures apply if you want to change a child’s name.

“On a couple of occasions, I telephoned Ann McCabe regarding matters and although she was unable to help at a professional level, she gave sound advice freely and without restriction. This warmed me to her business.
“Subsequently, I sought professional assistance from Adele Baskerville in updating my will. She gave freely of very sound advice and dealt with me patiently, especially as my previous will, written by another practice, had some questionable material in it. She pondered long and hard before resolving my requirements and I was thoroughly satisfied with the outcome.”
