Incorrect Signatures: Both owners must sign the form. If one signature is missing or not properly notarized, the form may be rejected. Confirm that all signatures are present and notarized as required.
-
Not Selecting the Correct Ownership Status: It's crucial to accurately select the ownership status. Misidentifying whether the co-owner is a spouse or not can complicate the ownership agreement. Review the options carefully before making a selection.

Failure to Attach Required Documents: If the primary owner is married and designates a co-owner other than their spouse, a letter releasing the spouse's financial interest must be included. Omitting this letter can invalidate the form.
