Subject: [WSBARP] best way to correct typo in name on deed

In drafting a deed for a client, I noticed that the original deed to my client named her as Sally H. Draper when her real name is Sally B. Draper. This deed is 20 years old and I have no idea where or if the original grantors are to be found. The deed needed to be filed ASAP, so I listed her as "Grantor, Sally B. Draper, who took title as Sally H. Draper" and had her sign that way as well.

Is this sufficient to clear up the title? What is the best way to correct such an issue? I did ask a title company and they suggested I have my client sign a quit claim deed from Sally H. to Sally B. to clear it up. I was dubious about that as the notary certainly can't affirm that the nonexistent Sally H. appeared before her. Any responses greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,



Chandra M. Lewnau, Attorney at Law
