People change their names for many reasons. Marriage, adoption and divorce are just a few reasons why an individual would change his/her name. If a debtor changes his name during the bankruptcy proceeding he has an obligation to notify the trustee and his creditors of this change. Because you now have a different name concerning all legal documents, this information needs to be updated in order for the discharge to be effective for both names.
A legal name change is recognized by courts and should be acknowledged in your legal proceeding. Contact the Fears | Nachawati Law Firm today for your bankruptcy needs.
