the name should have been Avra...   they spelled it Aura...

it is going to be a PITA to change it (the deed) in the time frame we need... as well as cost 5-600 for fees.   for something that isnt our fault.

questions is...

can we get a DBA as Aura? and leave the deed as is.

it would just be for the 2 properties recorded this way...   (we will be more specific on future ones.)

    are you sure about the cost?  I would call them immediately with the proof you submitted.

    I agree with @Rich N..  You sure about the cost?  My escrow company screwed up the parcel number in the recorded deed...I asked them to fix it and paid nothing about of pocket.  Good luck!

    not the escrow ... the county ..  the tax office prepared it and the recorder recorded it.

    this was a tax sale, the paperwork they had us fill out at purchase was filled by hand.

    the name was written and *could* have been interpreted as a u...

    i noticed it right away and told the recorder of deeds... they said, we just record it.  i talked to the tax office, they said "thats why we tell the people filling out the form to be legible"...

    they said i would have to do a correction deed, the fees associated with that are 250-300  and we have 2 deeds with the same problem (from the same purchase)

    not to beat a dead horse, I understand you filled it out, but looking at the paperwork, is it definitely a V or can it be U?  If its definitely a V and even though you talked to them, did you actually see a manager and show them the paperwork?

    If by chance, it could be a U, then its unfortunate.
