Good morning guys

1) I have 2 questions I need help with. At long last I have completed on my flat yesterday and also received my deeds. My father has a double barrel surname, my parents added one name to my B.C and the other on my passport. When I was young my father applied for a Cypriot id card and did not use my B.C but used my Passport instead. Growing up I was fed up with the confusion so I decided to change everything to what it is on my Birth Certificate including my Cyprus I.D and passport so all changed. I received my new title deed but my previous surname is on the title deed but luckily they added my I.D number. Would this cause any future problems? I need to switch on Electricity so thinking of taking my old I.D with my previous name on.

2) I am a single parent and live and breath for my child. I would really like to pass on my property via gift. Should I mention this in my will or should I speak with the land registry office? What is the cheapest and simplest way of doing this? Really do not want to use same solicitor, he was extremely slow and I have ADHD so need a fast and straight to the point solicitor.

It's not in Paphos it is in Paralimni. My estate agent said it was OK as the deeds has my id number on? I will take my old id and passport with me. The land registry added my previous name as it was on the national data base. The funny thing is I did use a lawer, he completed all for me. Why add my previous name on the deed and not my changed one though 🤔.

Thank you

Have used ProAct for Will advice and all things legal that can be dealt with without needing an actual solicitor. Helpful and reasonable fees.
