Scriveners Affidavit (Mistake Correction)

SCRIVENER’S AFFIDAVIT. This form is a legal document used to correct minor clerical or typographical errors in a previously recorded document related to real estate transactions. It is typically prepared by someone involved in the original document, such as an attorney, title company, or one of the parties to the transaction. The affidavit identifies the document to be corrected, specifies the mistake, and provides the correct information. The affiant (person making the affidavit) must sign the document before a notary public, affirming that the correction accurately reflects the original intent of the parties. This affidavit ensures that public records accurately reflect the intended transaction without requiring a full re-recording of the original document. www.FormsWorkflow.com
