Questions answered? Let's get started!
A deed already sitting in a Connecticut town's land records cannot be pulled back and retyped. This corrective quitclaim deed is what goes on the record behind it: one individual Grantor, the same person who conveyed under the earlier deed, signs a second deed that identifies the first by volume and page and states the correction. Buyers search it as a Connecticut correction deed, a corrective deed, or a scrivener's error fix.
What Connecticut repairs without a second deed
Much recorded deed trouble in Connecticut is answered by statute, and that is where a correction question starts. Section 47-36aa of the General Statutes, revised by Public Act 25-136 effective July 1, 2025, runs in two registers. Subsection (a) takes conveyancing defects, a defective acknowledgment or none at all, attestation by one witness or by no witnesses, and makes the instrument as valid as if it had been executed without the defect, unless an action challenging its validity is commenced and a lis pendens recorded within two years of recording. Subsection (b) treats a second list as insubstantial, among them an omitted execution date, a flawed map reference, and a missing grantee mailing address. What sits outside those lists, and what a party wants legible on the record now rather than after a two year wait, is this deed's ground.
One Grantor, two boxes, and a stated limit
Section 8 is the working center of the form. It holds two boxes, one for the text as the Prior Deed reads and one for the corrected text, set side by side so a later title examiner sees the change without collating two instruments. Section 7 identifies that earlier instrument by title, parties, date, town, volume, page, and recording date. Section 11 puts the limit into the operative text: the deed conveys no interest beyond the interest the Prior Deed conveyed, it neither enlarges nor limits the estate except as the correction provides, and the Prior Deed stays of record. The conveyance runs on the short quitclaim form of Section 47-36c, carrying the Section 47-36f release and the narrow Section 47-36g covenant that reaches encumbrances the Grantor made or suffered.
Execution is a single sitting: one Grantor signature line, the two subscribing witness lines Section 47-5(a)(4) calls for, and one certificate tracking the Section 1-62 short form for an individual. A misspelled grantee name, and a subdivision map reference with transposed digits, present the pattern this deed recites. Two people who both conveyed under the earlier deed produce two executions, an entity or fiduciary grantor states an authority this form does not carry, and a change that moves land, adds a party, or alters the estate is a fresh conveyance. A Section 47-12a affidavit of facts affecting title states facts rather than rewriting a deed; it is recorded on its own and is not part of this package.
An exemption Connecticut deleted in 1971
Anyone arriving from another state expects a correction deed to be exempt from transfer tax by name. Connecticut is not that state. Former subdivisions (4) and (5) of Section 12-498(a), which had exempted deeds that confirm, correct, modify or supplement a previously recorded deed, were deleted by the 1971 act, and the section's history note records that deletion. Nothing in the current list restores the category, so this instrument reaches an exemption through a subdivision the list does contain, ordinarily subdivision (10), which reaches a deed whose consideration is under two thousand dollars. Classified farm, forest, open space, and maritime heritage land runs the opposite way: Section 12-504c(a)(4) still excepts by name a deed that corrects, modifies, supplements or confirms a deed previously recorded.
Recorded in the town, behind the deed it corrects
Land records here belong to the towns, so this deed reaches the clerk who holds the Prior Deed. Section 47-10 conditions a conveyance's force beyond the grantor and the grantor's heirs on recording it there. Form OP-236 travels with it, and Section 12-497 makes the filed return and any tax due a condition of recording a taxable deed. The clerk's charge is seventy dollars for the first page under the schedule effective July 1, 2025, five dollars for each page after it.
The package includes this corrective deed as a blank fillable PDF, a filled-in Farmington example carried through all thirteen sections, and a plain language guide working through the validating act, the correction and limitation provisions, the notarial steps, and the tax and recording mechanics. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.

I thought the price was rather extreme $39 for three pieces of paper, but I guess that’s what I needed

Found the forms I needed but had to type these out my self in Word since these forms do not allow any information to be saved. I understand you want this to be proprietary information but you failed to deliver a usable product. I printed this template and built my own in microsoft word. Good examples and instructions with poor execution. I lost hours of typing and nearly lost real estate deals due to these documents not being in a format ready to use. Will be using another service next time or buying these as guides alone.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. Sorry to hear of the struggle you had using our forms. We will look into the issues you reported to see what we can do to provide a better product. For your trouble we have provided a full refund of your order.

As good as any of the rip off document services on the internet. Received the documents through download, were as described. Not as cheap as driving to the courthouse and getting them for free, but easier than doing so.
Thank you, Pat. We’re glad the documents were as described and easy to access. Just to clarify — Johnson County doesn’t provide a Transfer on Death Deed form. We make the correct, recordable version available, and any required supplemental forms are free on our site, with or without purchase.
