Hassle or not - if she is no longer legally Jeana Smith but is now Jeana Carter, then how can she still sign as Jeana Smith. When I married, IMO, my last name legally became my husband's last name at the moment of the marriage and I no longer signed anything under my maiden name.
Jeana, how long have you been married? Have you assumed your husband's last name? Have you changed your name on your DL? If so, I'd suggest calling your SOS and see what they suggest, but IMO your commission should match your name, which should be who you really are. A change of name shouldn't be all that difficult nor all that expensive.
