Amended Notices of Acknowledgement Forms & Corrective Affidavits from Revenue
It may be necessary to file an amended Notice of Acknowledgement form or Corrective Affidavit after a grant of representation has issued in situations where there are material errors or omissions in the original Revenue form.
Examples of such errors or omissions include:
- Additional property or assets that were initially unknown to the personal representative.
- Property included in the original Revenue form that does not actually belong to the deceased’s estate.
Important: Amended Notice of Acknowledgement forms or Corrective Affidavits should only be used to rectify errors or omissions made in the original Affidavit, and not due to events occurring after the date of death, such as property sales.
