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 found your instructions and sample for completing a quit-claim deed in Arizona to be simple and easy to follow with one exception. The website to use in order to determine the code for the reason for exemption of fees was incorrect, as a result of which I had to contact the County Recorder to obtain that information.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Deeds.com was such a blessing in order for me to get something done that my lawyers could not get done. Transferring a mineral right from my deceased parents to me and my husband. The mineral company person I worked with went above and beyond helping me fill the paperwork out perfectly so that it had “right of survivorship” (and other things phrased properly) so that either my husband or I won’t have the issue I have had. Had it not been for deeds.com I don’t think I would have been able to complete this process. I hope anyone that ever needs something such as this learns about I deeds.com.
Thank you, Julia, for your kind and thoughtful review. We're truly honored to have played a role in helping you and your husband secure your mineral rights — especially after such a frustrating experience elsewhere. It’s great to hear that our team and resources were able to guide you through the process with clarity and care. Your words mean a lot to us, and we hope others in similar situations find the support they need through Deeds.com, just like you did. Wishing you continued peace of mind and security with your property.

These forms made it so easy to update the property deed and the instructions and sample filled out form were most helpful. You might want to add some brief information on when or why to use the Acknowledgment in Individual Capacity notary form. In my case the notary was required to use it but also filled in the brief notarize section on the Affidavit as well. She said the one on the Affidavit had some value because it showed she had witnessed the my signature. But this was only after I suggested both be filled in as she initially thought to just strike through it and just use the Acknowledgment in Individual Capacity form.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
