[WSBARP] Scrivenor's Error on Deed

[Brent Williams-Ruth]

It's not brave. I am dyslexic. I tell my clients when they onboard which is
why for everything I do from EP to sending out pleadings or Deeds (which
were signed by the Executor BTW), I ask them to verify because I truly do
not see when I make simple transposition errors.

But I hate it. I hate making mistakes and having it slip through the
multiple processes in place that are created to guard against it.

I like knowing that I don't have to change it - but I think I will simply
because it will make me feel better.
