[WSBARP] Who signs a corrected quit claim deed?

[HOWARD HERMAN]

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 have done it many times.

I know that's the position title insurance companies take, but is there any
authority that that complies with the statute of frauds and the statute
requiring deeds be notarized?  It's always seemed suspect to me.

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!
