A correction deed, also known as a confirmatory or corrective deed, is a legal document used to fix errors on a property title that is recorded. Property owners can use this special type of deed to amend common errors such as misspellings, incomplete names, and other missing information.

Reformation of Deed To reform or change a deed, the parties to the deed must bring a legal action before a circuit court requesting that the court “fix” the deed by issuing a judgment or order stating the original intent of the parties, and what needs to be legally changed.

Procedure for Rectification Deeds Once a mistake is identified, both parties involved must know and agree verbally to rectify the error. All parties should be present at the Sub-registrar's office, where the correction deed is created and registered. You have to apply for it and submit all the supporting documents.

You just visit the registrar's office with documentation of the name's right spelling to have it fixed if there's a spelling mistake. Any deed, including a sale deed, that contains name mistakes may be corrected if accepted by executing a registered deed of rectification.

Rectification deed, recognized under Section 17 of the Indian registration Act, 1908, is also known as deed of confirmation, supplementary deed and amendment deed.

The court can direct the rectification of an instrument, if it is satisfied that the deed does not express the real intention of the parties.

You only need to correct the deed before it is signed and recorded. There are two ways to do this: If you need to make a minor textual change (such as correcting a legal description or a spelling), the best choice is to open the document in word processing software and change the erroneous text.
