Re: deeds
Amended deeds are filed. However, unless the deed is labeled amended or corrective or something to that effect, it is not a legal deed because the grantor had nothing to give at that point because he/she had already given what she had with the prior deed. This sounds like a question for an attorney and not something that should be handled without counsel because it has become so complex.
I can say that it sounds like the original deed that you received from the grantor should be filed ASAP. However, since I am not privy to the entire legal file, the information I provide cannot truly be relied upon because often bits of information are left out that may have legal bearing. I am merely discussing legal principles.
Good luck. If you would like my assistance, please contact me via my website, at www.lawrefs.com or directly via email.
