Q: How can I correct an error on a Voluntary Administration Statement after it has been certified?
I listed the wrong year, but the correct VIN number on the form for a car. The RMV in Arizona will not accept the form because I listed the wrong year. It should be 2013 Honda Civic, I listed it as 2014.
Thanks!
A:
To correct an error on a Voluntary Administration Statement in Arizona, particularly one involving a vehicle's year of manufacture, you'll need to file an amended statement with the correct information.
Start by contacting the probate court where you filed the original Voluntary Administration Statement. Inform them of the mistake and inquire about the specific procedure for filing an amendment. Typically, this involves completing a new form with the corrected information.
When filling out the amended form, ensure all other details remain consistent with the original filing, except for the correction of the car's year. It's crucial to double-check all information before submission to avoid further errors.
Once the amended form is complete, submit it to the same probate court where the original statement was filed. There might be a filing fee associated with this amendment, so it's a good idea to confirm this with the court ahead of time.
After the amended statement is processed and approved by the court, you should receive a certified copy. This can then be presented to the Arizona RMV to update the vehicle information.
Remember, it's important to address such errors promptly to ensure all estate-related matters are handled correctly and efficiently.
