Application For Name Change
Explain the service in a short paragraph.
In South Australia, a certificate of title must be updated in the case that an individual changes their name. This is a legal process that conveyancers often assist with, known as an Application to Note Change of Name.
This application is required when a name change occurs as a result of:
- Marriage
- Reverting to a surname used prior marriage
- A correction or alteration of a name or CT
- Other legal name change procedures including births, deaths and marriage
While an application for name change can be completed without a registered conveyancer, Land Services SA “strongly advises all people to seek professional assistance” when dealing with such estate matters.
Should you choose to proceed without a registered conveyancer like JKA & Co, you must ensure all legislative requirements are adhered to. Given the complex nature and high risk involved with such procedures, especially as they pertain to future marriages, sale of the estate, wills and so forth – our practice is of the opinion that completing this process without a conveyancer carries high risk, and is unadvisable.
