How do you correct the name of the owner of property on a deed?
You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate and conveyancing. Errors made by non-professionals who draft their own deeds can be costly to correct if they can be corrected. An attorney needs to review what you did and explain your options. You should not attempt to correct the error on your own. (Please see discussion page.) In general, such mistakes are corrected by making and recording a corrective deed. The original grantor makes a new deed with the correct name and a brief explanation that this new deed is given solely to state the correct name of the grantee. The two deeds are read together as one. The date of the conveyance remains as of the date of the first deed, but the second deed now corrects the nominal error in the first.
How do you correct an unrecorded quit claim deed when the grantor is deceased?
You cannot correct an error in an unrecorded deed when the grantor has died.

In that case, the grantor's estate must be probated and you must get a deed from the estate or from the heirs. You need to have your situation reviewed by an attorney who specializes in real estate law in your jurisdiction.
