Thanks for being so calm and informative on this subject. It is funny to see people trying to tell you you're wrong, when it's evident this is a subject you'd naturally become quite expert at.

Thanks, although I'm not so much an expert in the subject as someone who's had to deal with this time and again. It is a little frustrating to be corrected so many times by people not directly involved. When my paid lawyer says "sign your home purchase documents the same way you normally write your name", then I heed his recommendations. When I explain the situation to my (huge multinational) bank and they issue me checks and debit cards in my desired name, I'm sure they're not humoring me just for the fun of it and throwing banking regulations to the wind. Basically, several entrypoints into the legal and financial systems have vetted and agreed with my lawyer's interpretation. And yet, here we find ourselves having this discussion. :-D
