Common confusion points
Confusing 'Forfeiture' (the legal act of taking) with 'Disposal' (the action taken after taking, like selling).
Believing the form is sufficient without attaching evidence; supporting documents are crucial.
Not clearly stating *who* you are applying as (e.g., the State, a specific company, etc.).
Assuming the property automatically goes to auction upon filing—it requires a court order first.
