Corrective Warranty Deeds in Alabama
You just bought a new house, have your deed in hand, and you are ready to relax in your new home. But after taking another look at the deed, you notice a mistake in the legal description. Now what?
Alabama law provides for reformation of a deed by judicial intervention under (Ala. Code 1975, 35-4-150), but filing a corrective deed might be an option to resolve simple mistakes.
A corrective deed is an instrument used to fix an error in a deed that was recorded at an earlier date. It can only be used to correct non-material errors, causing no actual change in the substance of the deed. Common minor errors include misspelled names or missing information, such as marital status, or a mistake transcribing courses and distances in the legal description of the property. Major changes to the substance of the deed, or details that effect how property is titled require a new deed.
A corrective warranty deed has the same form as the previously recorded warranty deed containing the error and includes all the same information, in addition to correcting the error. The corrective deed states the nature of the error and recites the date and recording information of the erroneous deed.
The deed must be acknowledged before any of the officers listed in (Ala. Code 1975, 35-4-24). For the corrective deed to be valid, all parties who signed the prior deed must sign the corrective deed in the presence of a notarial official. The execution of a deed must be attested by at least one witness in Alabama (Ala. Code 1975, 35-4-20). If the grantor is married, Alabama requires that both spouses appear before an officer authorized by law to take acknowledgements of deeds and sign the deed (Ala. Code 1975, 6-10-3).
Most transfers of real property are subject to a privilege or license tax, but corrective deeds are exempt under Ala. Code 1975, 40-22-1, and do not require a Real Estate Sales Validation Form (Form RT-1).

Forms used, created quitclaim deed that the county accepted without a second look (turns out they see deeds.com forms regularly via erecording and in person). Will be back for any real estate related forms I need and they carry. Will always be my first stop. Also, will use erecording next time, mad I didn't see it this time.
Thanks for the kind words James, glad we could help. Look forward to seeing you again.

Wasn’t what I expected
Sorry to hear that your expectations were missed. Your order has been canceled. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your expectations elsewhere. Do keep in mind that purchasing legal forms should not be an exploratory endeavor.

Exactly what I needed and VERY fair price. I paid $19.97 for what a local attorney wanted $200 to do. I filled out the form using the line by line guide and filed it at the court house today. Absolutely no problems.

Great service! Easy to download and view. Florida should have the Revocable Transfer on Death (TOD)deed, that many other States have. That's the one I really wanted. This one will do in the meantime.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

I ordered a Quit Claim Deed for my county. Once I read the detailed instructions and filled it out I submitted it to the local Register of Deeds and it was filed on the spot while I waited! Thank you, you made a difficult and expensive task easy (for a laymen with no knowledge) at little expense. Highly recommend your site!!!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I am a lawyer and purchased a specialized type of deed for a special scenario. The product received was functional, but not great. Wording is slightly clunky and the form layout was not convenient for making a professional final product. The wording also didn't contemplate a remote-state probate, which is a common scenario. Something about the PDF prevented me from doing cut and paste, so I had to do OCR to get the relevant text for inserting in my existing draft deed. Finally, while the site claims it is customized for the exact state and county, it does not appear to be well-customized for that purpose and I had to use other language (not sourced from the deeds.com document) to meet local norms.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The forms worked well for entering information. I have finished without much trouble. Since the forms are Adobe PDF files you need the free app to use them but you can't edit unless you have the paid Adobe program. And, it was a reasonable price.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The document I purchased (QuitClaim Deed) had detailed directions explaining how to complete the form. This made it easy to complete without any doubt that it was completed incorrectly (which was my fear). I also used the E-File service and it was processed very quickly without any issues. Thank you for making this process simple! I will definitely use this service again.
