RE, Correcting an Incorrect Legal Description in a Deed
My advice would be to retain an experience real estate lawyer to advise you in the matter or any correction of a real estate title description. Depending upon the nature of error, you may have created a title defect which could last into perpetuity by attempting to do draft this deed by yourself last time. You should therefore ask yourself whether or not you are truly qualified to correct the problem this time. There could also be unforeseen consequences of the error, such as tax and inheritance repercussions, which must now be addressed.
