FAQ
A corrective deed, also known as a confirmatory or correction deed, is a type of legal document used to amend errors in an existing property title. It is most commonly used for minor mistakes, such as misspelled or incomplete names, omissions of marital status, and missing information.
You may prepare a deed on your own; however it is a good idea to have someone with a certain expertise in the field such as a real estate agent, attorney, or title company prepare it for you. A deed is binding even if it is not recorded, but because of numerous reasons it is in your best interests to record it.
This can only be done by recording a new deed showing the change. Many people think they can come to our office and change the present deed on record. However, once a document or deed is recorded, it cannot be altered or changed in any way. A new deed is needed and can be prepared for you by your attorney.
We recommend you consult a real estate attorney or title company to prepare a new deed. Montgomery County Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service. Pennsylvania Land Title Association. Legal Aid of Southeastern Pennsylvania.
A corrective deed is valid without any additional consideration. Acceptance by the grantee of a corrective deed is admission of the error found in the original deed.
