[WSBARP] Title Co's Request for Re-record of 1994 Deed

[Mark Anderson]

So many questions...
What led the title company to believe that Parcel 2 had been erroneously attached to the 1994 deed?  Is that because the 1994 grantor did not own any interest in Parcel 2?
Is the current title company the same title company that insured the 1994 transaction?  If so, are they just trying to fix their own mistake by having you re-record a deed and thereby defeating third party's claim against title?
And, jumping on the bandwagon, has Seller been paying taxes on Parcel 2 for the past 29 years?

Subject: [WSBARP] Title Co's Request for Re-record of 1994 Deed

Listmates:

In 1994, Sellers were Grantees under a Statutory Warranty Deed that contained parcels 1 and 2.  Fast forward to present day, like in the movies,  Sellers on the eve of closing, are told by title co. that parcel 2 was erroneously attached to their 1994 deed, and that Seller needs to re-record the 1994 deed to remove parcel 2.  Can that be done?  The Grantors of the 1994 deed are dead.  Any thoughts?
