[WSBAPT] Correcting a Name?

[Diane J. Kiepe]

Brent,

I don’t even get people’s agreement in such a situation.  I present a petition and order to correct the name, indicating that the initial filing contained a scrivener’s error and ask the Letters be issued with correct spelling.

Good luck.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Correcting a Name?

Greetings List Members -

Way way back, many centuries ago...not long after the Bible began (ok, it hasn't been quite that bad....) but at the VERY start of a probate, a name was given to me that had an extra letter added to it. No one caught this error until the legal guardian attempted to open a blocked account and the financial institution said - nope, we need the order to be corrected with the real name.

I have a birth certificate illustrating true name.

Question relates to process - I am thinking a very simple "motion to modify" that could be submitted to ex parte with everyone's agreement that simply advises the Court of the error, shows the appropriate name now, and that should be it. Right?

Appreciate input!

Thank you,
