Q: My attorney did our deeds incorrectly, how can this be fixed without having to sign again?
One of the original signing tenants are not available to sign.
A: It depends on what the error is. Deeds have particular, strict, requirements.
A: You will need to hire a competent TN attorney that knows real property litigation, not a title co. Almost surely signatures will again be required by all necessary parties. If they are not available, the title may be clouded or void permanently. A Quiet Title Action may be necessary with publication service. It could be expensive.
