Your daughter will simply need to show documentation that the name on the bonds is her maiden name - maybe her marriage license? Why women take their husband's names rather than keeping their own baffles me. It's much simpler just not to change your name. Tom Adams Mark - this is extremely common; banks deal with it everyday.

You can cash the bonds that have your name second if "OR" is between the names. Otherwise, you'll need your ex-wife's help in cashing the bonds, as only she can legally redeem them.

We did both pay for the bonds but because of the business I was in I got the bonds and she got the cash. The bonds are all older than ten years.
