Why choose us?

• • Change of Name Deed dealt with by a solicitor

There are several reasons why you may wish to change your name. Marriage or Civil Partnership are some of the most common reasons which encourage you to change all, or part, of your name. At Pinnington Law we provide a quick and efficient service that ensures your name is legally changed under English law.

As with most legal situations, there is a process which you will need to follow in order for the change of name deed to be considered legal and for your name to actually change. We will help you through this entire process, ensuring all of your official documents acknowledge your name change.

As long as you supply us with the full details regarding your current name and personal information, as well as your new name, we can accurately prepare all of your paperwork so that it is ready for you to sign.

In most instances, we require our fees to be paid in advance so that we are able to prepare the Change of Name Deed within 24 hours of your request. We also offer fixed fee services for most of our legal work and free initial consultations to help you with any legal matters you may have.
