[WSBARP] Who signs a corrected quit claim deed?

[Jeanne Dawes]

It's a scrivner's error.  All you need to do is to correct the legal description, and re-recorded the deed with a notation:  Re-recorded to correct legal description.

I would question whether you need to do anything.  If the deed is invalid then presumably the title was still in the couple's name as community property and passed to the wife on death of the husband.  I would say talk to a title company attorney, but I'm not sure how you bind them to the answer given.  If you somehow determine that is correct, in the meantime you could just hold onto the original deed in case you do need to so some re-recording of the deed for some reason.  I do think it is that deed that would be re-recorded, rather than a new deed being prepared.



Finally, it's doubtful this was that type of transaction, but if this was done as part of a refinance through escrow, there's likely a document giving the escrow the power to correct typographical errors.

Listmates,



Husband (grantor) Quit Claimed his interest in real estate to wife (grantee) shortly before his death.  The County assessor discovered a typographical error of the legal description on the Quit Claim Deed.  If I prepare a corrected Quit Claim Deed, who would sign it?  No probate was opened for husband's estate (I presume that's why the did the quit claim deed).

Thanksfor any advice you can give!
