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.
I understand you're having trouble with filling out an affidavit for your car title transfer. Can you tell me which state the car is registered in?
Kentucky
Have you already spoken to the DMV or a legal professional about the correct way to fill out the affidavit?
Yes I have
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.

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.
