[WSBARP] Scrivenor's Error on Deed

[Roger Hawkes]

Brent: I think correcting it is best.  Lay folks tend to think of addresses rather than legalities.

Subject: [WSBARP] Scrivenor's Error on Deed

List Members -

I made a scrivener's error that was not caught by the client.  I transposed two numbers on a deed of personal representative where I have the section that says Property Commonly Known As: 4390 Main Street.....and I wrote 4930 Main Street.

Everything else is correct. Parcel number. Legal description. Everything except that. The recording was done nearly two years ago.  A call to the County auditor (not King, Pierce, or Thurston) said that they only go by the parcel number and legal description which is why it was not rejected.

Will this error cause any trouble down the line in 50-75 years when the relatives are looking to get rid of this property? (I say this because it is a property that is a family jewel....maybe the grandkids who are infants now will not want it but staying in the family until then).

Thank you for your thoughts.
