<p>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.</p>

<p>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.<br>
