If you unintentionally forget to disclose an asset on your financial disclosure forms, it is imperative to amend the document as soon as you realize the mistake. You are legally obligated to update the disclosure form to accurately portray your assets and debts as you know them to be true. Failing to do so could lead to allegations against you of hiding assets to protect them from being divided with your ex-spouse in a divorce. This could result in criminal charges and penalties.
