Deeds should always be drafted by a professional. Errors made by non-professionals can be costly to correct later, if they can be corrected. Errors are often not discovered until the property is sold and the proposed buyer's attorney discovers a problem during the course of a title examination. The issue will then need to be addressed by the seller.
In this case an error has already been made so it is even more important to have a professional draft the "corrective deed". So called "corrective deeds" executed by non-professionals are often followed by the need for additional "corrective deeds" as the problem grows.

Can you do an Affidavit of Scrivener's Error for a deed in Kentucky?
A Scrivener's Affidavit cannot be used to make any substantial changes in a deed. For example, it can be used to correct or add the date, add, correct or delete a middle initial that was recited improperly in the deed or make any other such minor changes that will help to CLARIFY the recitations in the deed. A Scrivener's Affidavit cannot be used to change, add to or substantially modify the description of the property, add or delete a grantor or grantee, or add other information that affects the title to the property or its description. Scrivener's Affidavits are not necessarily found when the title to the property is examined because they would be indexed under the name of the scrivener and not the property owner. For that reason they should not be used to make substantial changes that affect the title. If a Scrivener's Affidavit attempts to add a parcel that was inadvertantly omitted in the initial deed, the affidavit does not meet the statutory requirements of a grant of real property. For substantial changes a corrective deed must be recorded in the chain of title.
