Sign with my maiden or legal name?

Question

When I was born, my grandmother took out a life insurance policy through Gerber on me. She is now in a nursing home and unable to make the monthly payment. I am fine with cancelling it because I have full coverage under my husband who is in the military. I called yesterday to cancel it and she said the final step to cancel it was to sign and date some papers she was sending in the mail and to mail them back. My maiden name is on the policy, but I legally go by my husband's last name now. Should I sign with my maiden name since that'a what is on my policy or with my legal name?

you sign your Legal name on all Legal documents  but in cases like this  you will probably have  to indicate  your maiden name as well
providing copies  of  birth certificate  and  marriage license is an excellent idea  

 probably best  to call them and ask about it first  the paper work may not be required  and you don't want  those documents even copies circulating  if not necessary

Usually you sign with your LEGAL name. By law, your maiden name isn't what you go buy. I would just call them and say you have had a name change and just provide like your drivers license and/or marriage certificate. 

I wouldn't go with SSN card TBH.

My wife provides a copy of the marriage license when such comes up. Seems to work. She signs with her married name.
