A "Corrective Deed" is executed to retroactively amend a previously recorded Deed to correct an error. Some common errors are (i) incorrect legal descriptions, (ii) incorrect grantors/grantees being named, (iii) incorrect capacities being claimed, (iv) typographical errors, and (iv) incorrect ownership percentages

Effective January 1, 2018, the California Senate passed Senate Bill 2 which adds an additional $75.00 filing fee for each real estate related document filed. This fee is levied per property, per document title. Once we complete the title research, our team will notify you if there are any additional fees due. You will have an opportunity to cancel if you decide not to proceed. Most of the time, there are no additional fees due.
