Q: Do I need to fill out a separate Amended Account of Fiduciary or can I enter an 'Annual-Amended ' form
I made a mistake thinking that one IRA was two because it was with one bank but overseen by another. I need to rectify the mistake on an amended (this happened about 3 -4 months ago-procrastinated.. but the Annual is coming up. Do I need to do one for each or can I do an amended -annual , combining them into one?
A:
I assume this is for a legally incapacitate person's estate rather than a decedent's estate, but you SHOULD amend this ASAP rather than just 'waiting' -- if there are issues it is best to get this resolved ahead of time, and not wait ... if this is just a clerical mistake as you describe it shouldn't cause issues, but I'd want the interested parties to be informed about what is going on quickly so nobody raises concerns about your handling of the matter. TALK WITH YOUR ATTORNEY to insure this is done right. If you don't have an attorney YOU SHOULD!
