A correction deed is a deed that serves to correct or negate a mistake made between parties whom have contracted an original deed agreement. The mistake can encompass minor things such as the misspelling of a name or major terms such as the price of the land. If both parties decide a correction is needed, then a simple correction deed should be constructed. It’s typically one correction and not 4-5 changes needed. The rest of the deed is valid.

Generally, all parties who signed the prior deed must sign the correction deed in the presence of a notary, who will acknowledge its execution. Then record it in the country court records system to make it valid. We do that here in our office.

Correction deeds may have minor mistakes such as misspelled or incomplete names, missing middle initials, or excluding the marital status. They may leave out other investing information or property description. There are sometimes errors in recording the plat, deed reference lot number designation, or legal description. The corrected deed amends the defects of the original deed.
