Here's my question- I intend to change my name when we get married. I have heard that you need your marriage license to come before you got to officially change your name. But then how do you cash the checks people write to you with your new name? If someone writes a check out to Mr. and Mrs. John Dow but you haven't changed your name yet, can you cash it?
you can cash it... all you have to do is sign your maiden name and your new name... even if you havent changed it yet...
Usually they'll let you deposit a check with only one of the people signing the check, too.
If it is going into a joint accounting then he can sign the check and the bank will accept it.
FH and I have a joint savings....it's in my maiden name and his name....I have been depositing check's that have Mr.& Mrs. XX and have no problem..the only thing they do tell me is he should really sign also...but if your just depositing shouldn't be a problem.
thats what i had to do
