Corrected description question.

In Okie if they left out a line from a previous description then you file another deed at the courthouse. It's called a scriveners error in Okie. No big deal and they happen a lot with the cut an paste from attorneys.

You just call it a corrective deed. It has it's own form.

You must be surveying a tract with the latest deed description to trigger the question.
What I do unless a lot and block type of description is to look at the original writing for the tract of interest. If they differ, I find out where it happened, survey using the original description and stating the reason for doing so on the survey. As a surveyor, I can write descriptions, I cannot write deeds and record them, that is for the owner to get done.

In Texas and in Oklahoma surveyors can and do create deeds and once they are signed by the proper parties can record them as the owner's agent. Mostly though L@#$rs do the deeds and owners or la234rs do the recording.

I have recorded more than one subdivision plat as the owner's agent and other forms. A deed is no different.

I would call the person responsible for writing the first deed and explain the problem. They should correct it for no charge.

THANKS GUYS, GOOD INFO!
