Mississippi Correction Statement and Agreement
What is this form?
The Correction Statement and Agreement is a legal document used by buyers and sellers during the closing of a real estate transaction. This form serves to address any errors found in closing documents, ensuring that all parties are in agreement to execute corrected documents. Unlike other closing forms, this agreement specifically outlines the steps to correct inaccuracies or replace lost documents after the transaction has closed.
Form components explained
- Parties involved: Identifies the buyer(s) and seller(s).
- Transaction details: References the specific sales transaction and includes an attachment of the contract.
- Error correction clause: Describes the responsibilities of parties to address errors, inaccuracies, or lost documents.
- Indemnification provision: Offers protection to buyers against losses related to the replacement of documents.

When to use this document
This form should be used at the closing of a real estate transaction when one or more documents contain errors or when documents have been lost or misplaced. If a party realizes that a closing document, such as a deed or promissory note, does not accurately reflect the agreed terms, this form can ensure that corrective actions are taken swiftly and agreed upon by both the buyer and the seller.
