Hi,
We were granted a Letter of Administration from the Mumbai High Court in August 2013.
However recently when we applied to some of the institutions for release of the funds based on the LOA we noticed that the advocate we hired had incorrectly entered many of the mutual fund names.
So I would like to know if it's possible to
1) Amend the LOA with the correct names?
2) If yes, how much does this usually cost and how much is the time taken?
Also how can I obtain a certified copy of the LOA from the Mumbai high court?
Regards,
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate

You can approach the court with a petition and affidavit stating the fats and inadvertance of the advocate while entering the particulars of the items to be included in the LOA and seek to amend the LOA accordingly, after permitted to carry out the amendment, get the certified copies from the court and proceed. The cost factor, you have to work out with your advocate.

No need for amendment.
You can apply for typographical mistake even if the same is in the petition u/s 152 cpc.
