[KY] How do I correct a mistake on my car’s title?

I have a question. If my brother signed my car title by mistake, what do I put on my affidavit sworn statement? I don't know how to fill it out. I did one already, but I think I filled it out wrong.

Here is a summary of our phone call:

What we covered:

  • It was clarified that an affidavit of correction is needed for your car title due to your brother's erroneous signature.
  • Your brother must sign an affidavit stating he mistakenly signed the title and never had possession of the vehicle.
  • It was noted that Jefferson County does not have a specific form for this situation.
  • A form from Fayette County was shared as a reference to draft your own affidavit.

Next Steps:

  • You should draft an affidavit using the Fayette County form as a guide, including necessary language for Jefferson County.
  • Ensure the affidavit is notarized by signing it in the presence of a notary at a bank or UPS store.
  • Confirm with the DMV if the notarized affidavit meets their requirements for correcting the title.

Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with your affidavit statement.

My brother signed it by mistake cause I was going to put it in his name, but he skipped town. The DMV said that I need an affidavit after he signed saying that he made a mistake.

Hello, my name is Benjamin, and I have been a licensed attorney for over 19 years. I look forward to assisting you with your question.

I want you to know that your question is very important to me. Although the experts on this site cannot represent clients, we provide answers and guidance on legal issues and questions you may have. I look forward to speaking with you.

I must state in every question chain that, according to the rules of AskaLawyer, there is no attorney-client relationship here. That means I am not your lawyer. Everything here is for general knowledge about the law only.

You need to retain an attorney for that purpose for actual legal representation or advice.

  1. So are you looking for a replacement title due to his error?

No just an affidavit. I have the title. So I can take to the DMV showing that my brother signed my title by mistake.
