MarmaladeMom's post reminded me of a situation that I'm still dealing with 25 years later. My parents died before I married so I inherited some assets which were in my maiden name. For my legal name, I chose to use my full firstname, maiden name, and husbands last name, primarily dropping my middle name.

Soon after I married, I inherited some stocks from a great aunt. The family point of contact listed me as FN, middle name, and husbands last name. I could deal with that. Another aunt passed and that point of contact provided the administrator my shortened first name, my maiden name last initial, and my husbands last name. Another family member passed 10 years after marriage and suddenly the family contact had me as firstname and husbands last name and no middle initial or middle name.

Trying to get Computershare to understand that yes, this is the same person with the same SS# but for some reason has 6 different "legal" names is always fun.
