ACTEC: How to Change Your Name and Gender Marker on Vital Records

 

Transgender Day of Remembrance and Transgender Awareness week, The American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) wants to share an important video resource: Transgender? How to Change Your Legal Name and Gender Marker on Vital Records. The video and resource link offer practical legal information for people seeking to legally change their name and gender on vital records.

ACTEC Fellows Cynthia Lamar-Hart and Paula Kohut review the steps necessary to update vital records such as driver's license, passport, bank accounts, and social security number.

ACTEC is a nonprofit association of peer-elected lawyers and law professors experienced in the preparation of wills and trusts and estate administration. The Planning for a Diverse and Equitable Future video series strives to raise awareness of diversity, equity and inclusivity topics within the trust and estates practice to better address these issues within the community at large.
