HRS §425E-207

How to fix a mistake in a filed document

A limited partnership can correct a document it filed with the director if the document has a wrong statement or was not signed or processed correctly. To correct it, you prepare a certificate of correction that describes the original document, explains the mistake, and shows the fix, then file it with the director. The correction is treated as if it was made when the original document was filed, except for certain legal purposes and for people who relied on the old version.

The statute, as written — Correcting a filed document

(a) A domestic or foreign limited partnership may correct a document filed by the director if the document: (1) Contains an incorrect statement; or (2) Was defectively executed, attested, sealed, verified, or acknowledged. (b) A document is corrected: (1) By preparing a certificate of correction that: (A) Describes the document, including its file date or attaches a copy of it to the certificate; (B) Specifies the incorrect statement and the reason it is incorrect or the manner in which the execution was defective; and (C) Corrects the incorrect statement or defective execution; and (2) By delivering the certificate to the director for filing. (c) A certificate of correction shall be effective as of the effective date of the document it corrects; provided that the certificate shall be effective when filed: (1) For the purposes of section 425E-103(c) and (d); and (2) As to persons relying on the uncorrected record and adversely affected by the correction.
