No. Codicils are not associated with deeds of conveyance. Generally, once a deed has been executed it cannot be amended except by agreement of the parties. If the parties agree then corrective deeds will need to be drafted. For example, if the wrong property was described in the deed several outcomes are possible:

  • If the grantor owned the property that was inadvertently conveyed that land is gone. If the owner wants that land back it must be conveyed by the new owner to the former owner.
  • If the grantor didn't own the land conveyed in the deed then the grantee got nothing.

Errors are often made in naming the grantees or conveying proportionate interests:

  • If the owner intended to convey a half-interest but conveyed all their interest the land is gone and the new owner would need to convey the property back in order to correct that error.
  • If the land was conveyed to the wrong person or was intended to transfer to two or more and only one was named, the new owner must convey the land back to the former owner and a corrective deed must be executed.
  • If the owner forgot to reserve a life estate, it's too late unless the new owners agree to grant a life estate to the former owner.

The bottom line is that deeds should always be drafted by a professional. Errors in deeds can be expensive to correct if they can be corrected. If an error was made and the grantee will not agree to make a correction then the matter must be decided by a judge.

Minor errors can sometimes be corrected by a scrivener's affidavit. You should consult with an attorney who can review the situation and explain your options.
