Hello WW. I want to change my name before my fiance and I get married. I, the groom, have wanted a name change for a very long time, but didn't know how to do it myself, and couldn't afford a lawyer to do it for me. Now, I know how to do it, and it shouldn't cost much of anything at all. I want my wife to have my new last name, instead of the old one. She thinks that we may run into problems once we get married (applying for credit, adding her to my house title, etc.). Are there any pitfalls to think about, changing my name a few months before we are married?
