Maine Articles of Correction are legal documents that are used to correct errors in public records, such as deeds, mortgages, and other documents filed in the State of Maine. They are also used to correct errors in documents that are filed in other states when the errors impact a property located in Maine. There are two types of Maine Articles of Correction: correction of errors in existing documents and creation of new documents to replace incorrect documents. Correction of errors can include changes to names, descriptions, and other information contained within a document. Creation of new documents can include the correction of typos, changing a deed from one name to another, and other changes. In both cases, the Articles of Correction must be signed by the parties involved in the original document and recorded in the local registry of deeds.
