FAQ
A corrective deed is an instrument filed in the public record in addition to the incorrect deed. It's known as a confirmatory instrument since it perfects an existing title by removing any defects, but it doesn't pass title on its own.
A corrections or corrective deed, according to the Real Estate Agent website, provides the accurate information the original quitclaim deed lacked, for example an incorrect legal description or a misspelled name.
It's usually a very straightforward transaction, but it's possible for a quitclaim deed to be challenged. If a quitclaim deed is challenged in court, the issue becomes whether the property was legally transferred and if the grantor had the legal right to transfer the property.
When correcting an error in a deed in Illinois, there are two basic options: 1) re-record the original deed with corrections made on the face of it by striking out the wrong item; or 2) record a correction or corrective deed.
