<DIV>My brother did this after college, he is now 73, but he finally did a name
change to make sure no problem with SS and passport. But for a long time
even SS took his pseudonym and issued a new card just on his word. But
that was pre 9/11. These days you cannot even make a cash deposit at BOA
without showing ID unless the tellers know you really really really well, so get
a legal name change.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Hello,
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a client whose first name appears as "Shirley" on her birth
certificate and social security card. She decided to change the spelling (on her
own, not legally) post middle school, so everything else is spelled as "Shirlee"
i.e. driver's license, wedding license, bank accounts, deeds, properties, and
all estate planning documents. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Will this be an issue? If so what needs to be done to correct it? A legal
name change? Has anyone dealt with such an issue before? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks, </DIV>
