Does anyone have any experience getting their aircraft reregistered to sole ownership after a divorce? I have to accomplish that with my RV-6, now that things are finalized.
When I added my wife's name to the planes, I was told by the FAA to utilized a Bill of Sale. This was a convoluted process that took 2 additional exchanges of documents and an extended period of time. Furthermore, utilizing a BoS triggered a sale report to my State Franchise Tax Board, and the battle was then on to keep them from collecting sales tax! Needless to say, I do not want to repeat that process (x2)! I have called my local FSDO, FAA HQ, and AOPA, and I have not gleaned any good information. Currently, I have an email in to AOPA so that maybe they can do some serious research.
It is not something that I enjoy dealing with, but life sometimes throws us curveballs! You can reply here or via PM.
Thanks, guys!
P.S. - I guess it would be the same process for dealing with transfer after the death of a spouse? Anyone?
