Divorce and name change advice please

[hippysmum]

I am getting divorced and my Solicitor told me not to revert to my maiden name by deed poll as i have the legal right to use it anyway and it would be a waste of money - he said to just use my Birth Certificate as proof - is this correct and has anyone done it? A different solicitor said i needed a Deed poll so I am a little confused.

Thanks

i just printed off a change of name deed format from the internet and sent it to doctors/bank/gas/bt etc cost me printer ink thats all

you need two people to sign as a witness

passport people accepted no problem, perhaps just have it as back up?

ok thanks i'll look

No need for deed poll charge. You can call yourself mickey mouse if you like!

First solicitor was correct.

Yep, first solicitor was correct.

ok thanks i'll sort it today -hated my married name anyway
