[WSBARP] Scrivenor's Error on Deed

Tue Nov 1 15:44:10 PDT 2022

The title company won’t be confused, and they are really the only ones that matter in the end.

I’m in the if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it camp.

Hmm. How interesting. Never would have thought of that—that it wouldn’t matter when it come down to it. But still I think I’d change it. I don’t like possible confusions.

Nah. Ignore it. The street address is a legal nullity for conveyance purposes. It’s assigned by the post office for deliveries and has next to nothing to do with location of the property. Just researching my own property (110-year-old house) I’ve found at least three different street addresses for it.

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.
