I think I'd deal with it this way: Get her telephone authorization to
make, as her agent, the necessary handwritten change of the numbers, on
a copy of the Declaration of Completion. Alter the title to say
"Amended" Declaration of Completion. Add your own date and original
signature at the end after the PR's signature with some little
preliminary language like, "handwritten changes above made at the
direction and authorization of the PR." File that as an original, and
mail copies of the corrected Declaration to the heirs along with the
Notice of Filing.

 

Essentially, the PR is authorizing correction of a typographic error in
her original Declaration. Signing it yourself makes it enough of an
"original" to file it with the Court, and anyone looking at the court
file will readily be able to see both the original Declaration of
Completion with her original signature, and the Amended with yours.

 

It's a little funky I suppose but I can't see any possible prejudice to
anyone; the only version any heir will receive by mail is the corrected
version, so the due process requirements are satisfied.

 

Sincerely,

 

Eric

Listmates,

 

Is there any way that I can file an amendment to a Declaration of
Completion with my signature instead of the PR? The figures for the fees
need to be corrected. The PR is disabled and lives out of state, the
post office does not go to her house and she does not have a scanner or
fax. She signed the original before she left the state. It was filed
last Friday and I noticed the error in the figures this morning as I was
preparing to mail out a copy of the Declaration with the Notice of
Filing to the heirs. Note to self: review pleadings before you file, not
after.
