What happens if a deed that you had filed has a name misspelled, or the wrong accessors parcel number (APN)? As mistakes can and have happened, Clark County Nevada does have a way to rectify the situation, a re-recording of the document.
Since the document needs corrections and has been recorded, there are specific ways of handling the document. Those specific ways are as followed:
- You must take the original document and add a cover page
- Add a reason for the re-recording and a new Declaration of Value form
- On the originally recorded document, you would mark out the error and correct it.
- Then pay the fees and mail or take the document to the recorder’s office.
Once the document has been recorded, the original and the re-recorded document are both public record. This means that the deed that was recorded in error does show on the recorder’s site even with the corrected error. The assessor’s site shows that the correction was made.
As with all things, mistakes happen. They can be corrected and if you need help, we are here for you.
