Register of Deeds

Changes to Deeds

The Register of Deeds office does not have the authority to make changes to deeds as deeds are legal documents. Any changes, such as adding or removing a name, would be made through a legal document to be recorded. 

Documents like warranty deeds and quit claims deeds, which transfer ownership from one person to another, are typically prepared by attorneys or title companies. 

The Register of Deeds office cannot provide legal advice or instructions on how to complete these documents. If you need to make changes to a deed it is best to consult an attorney or title company. Once the legal documents are completed they must be submitted to our office along with the completed Real Estate Transfer Form for recording.
