Re: change of name
It is a fairly simple process. You should go to the Probate and Family Court and request a Petition to Change Name. You can also obtain one on-line.
The requirements really depend on your reason for wanting to change your name, but it is not meant to be a cumbersome process.
Please feel free to contact my office if you would like assistance in this matter.
