REAL ESTATE / ESTATE PLANNING - CORRECTING DEED - A Corrective Deed, also known as a Confirmatory Deed, is a legal document used to fix errors or omissions in a previously recorded deed, such as misspellings, incorrect property descriptions, or missing signatures, without altering the original transfer of ownership.

To create a corrective deed, you typically:
