Excellent book. great book January 24, 2002 1 out of 1 found this review helpful clear, concise...a pleasure. made my name change easy. thanks nolo! You can do it yourself! May 22, 2001 3 out of 3 found this review helpful I'm really enamored of Nolo Press's self-help legal guides. This one saved me $400 in legal fees. Just follow the steps outlined and it will guide you safely through even a court hearing, if you want to be able to change your passport. If, in the process, you decide you want to change any deeds your old name appears on, you can use their quite inexpensive guide to updating Deeds in California. As for typing up the forms -- neat printing does the job, too. This did the job. December 19, 1999 12 out of 12 found this review helpful The 7th edition of this book was my main reference as I successfully completed a legal name change. It did a good job helping me through the process without the assistance of a lawyer ("In Pro Per"). I would also suggest finding a good paralegal to help in typing up the forms.
