Any deed should be drafted by an attorney who specializes in real estate law. A deed affects the permanent transfer of ownership of land. Errors made by non-professionals (including many new attorneys or those who do not specialize in real estate law) can be costly to correct if they can be corrected. A deed cannot be "called back" or cancelled by the grantor once it has been executed and delivered.
This is a legal question and should be addressed by a local attorney as the process may vary from one jurisdiction to another, but a common method would be by recording a corrective deed. You cannot make any corrections on an instrument that has been recorded. If errors were made in a recorded deed the correction (if it can be corrected) is made depending on the severity of the error. If you conveyed the property to the wrong grantee you need to convince the new owner to convey the land back to you. In fact for any substantial error it's a good idea to have the grantee convey the property back to you in the same way they received it and a new (correct) deed should be recorded. For minor errors, if you missed a course or spelled a name wrong or made some other typographical error, you may be able to correct it with a Scrivener's Affidavit. You should seek the advice of an attorney who specializes in real estate law to correct the record. The odd thing about errors people make in deeds is that they usually make the problem worse when they try to correct them!
You take it down to the land records office and record it. The clerk will let you know if the deed is in proper form for recording. Deeds should always be recorded at the time they are executed.

If you own property and execute a quitclaim deed transferring your interest. You no longer own the property. If the property is subject to a mortgage or if you made the transfer to avoid creditors you have complicated the title and created a problem for yourself but you cannot undo that deed. The grantee in that deed would need to convey their interest back to you. Transferring property that is subject to a mortgage will trigger the "due on transfer" clause. You should consult with an attorney.

The grantee on the deed is the owner of the property. The grantee(s) on the deed is the person who holds title to the property.

You need to work as quickly as possible to obtain a confirmatory deed from the grantor. Without it you have no proof that you own the property. Record title stands in the name of the former owner until you record your deed.
When title passes by will the will must be probated in order for title to pass to you legally. You do not need to record a deed to prove you inherited the property. The probate records will reflect your ownership. However, if you would like to record a deed in the land records the attorney who handled the estate can draft a proper deed for you and you can record it in the land records to notify the world of your ownership.When title passes by will the will must be probated in order for title to pass to you legally.
