My son is 18 never saw his dad for over 8 years. But his dad died 2023 but wasn't told untill last year. Can I change his surname ? To same as mine and my older 2 kids last name so we are all the same.

I think as he is 18 and therefore legally an adult, it would be his decision, and he would have to be the one making the applications etc

He can change his own now he is 18...

He's non verbal. So has no mental capacity

I think that would make it more complicated and you might be better asking in the Legal Section
