Protection from domestic abuse/Legally changing one's name

Changing one's name in court is a rather easy procedure in WA. Some district courts may even allow a petitioner to file a petition and get the order to change name in the same day. If you are in Thurston County, the district court's webpage for a name change is here: http://www.co.thurston.wa.us/distcrt/name.htm .

The other large counties also have the procedures on their district court's website.

Since all of you appear to be adults now, there likely is no legal action via the court to terminate anyone's parental rights.

Since you are relatives, in some circumstances, unless certain steps are taken, you each may be able to inherit from each other through intestacy, have the right to make medical decisions if no closer relative is available, and have other rights.

If you are conscious and able to express your wishes, likely no hospital will allow your parents to visit against your wishes. You should make certain that everyone knows your wishes. You may want to look into getting an advance health care directive and related documents to have written statements as to who you want to make medical decisions for you, who can visit you, and other medical items.

You have the right to dispose of your wealth via a will (or other avenues). If you follow proper procedures, no one is entitled to your wealth against your wishes.

You should review your facts and options with an attorney.
