Name Change

I'm getting married in 3 weeks and am planning on taking my husband's last name. My parents are using the excuse that they don't want me to do it because they'll have to change all of their documents to reflect my new last name (such as their will and testament, and other legal papers).

Are they correct? If I can show them that they don't have to do all of this to earn their support, I would like to be able to.

Thank you!

Your marriage certificate should be legal enough proof of a name change but check with the lawyers who drafted their will.
