[WSBAPT] Transfer-on-death deed name correction (deceased grantor)

[Philip N. Jones]

I agree.  As my late partner Dave Kekel used to say:

It does not matter what the law is.  It only matters what the title company says the law is.

Ask a title company; they are the drivers of such matters.

Hello,

On a transfer-on-death deed we drafted for client, there was a name misspelling. The grantor is now deceased and now we need to transfer the property to grantee.

Can we do some sort of affidavit of correction and fix the name at the same time?

Sincerely,

Suzanne Lieberman
