Legal Question in Elder Law in Massachusetts
I had a deed with a retained life estate prepared. I noted a scrivener's error in the first name (the first name is John True and it was typed is Johnathan True. What would need to be done to correct it and how much would it cost?
Thank you for any assistance you may give me.

Have the attorney who drafted the deed file an Affidavit of Scrivners Error and file it with the Registry of Deeds for $75 or file a new deed indicating it is a conformitory deed for $125.00 which corrects the problem.
