Re: changeing my name
There is an established process for changing your name which involves
filing in court, public notice, and other factors. An attorney can assist you
with presenting your case on proper basis and filing. You cannot change your name with the intent to evade
your creditors, doing so may bring other penalties as well as bar you from changing your name. Your name change becomes a part of the court record and a creditor would be able
to identify this information.
Re: changeing my name
Go to the clerk's office (civil division)of the court of record in the jurisdiction where you live and ask whether they have a packet of materials with instructions and forms that will
permit you to file for a name change without the assistance of an attorney.
