The top rejection is a missing or incorrect Legal Description or APN. The Declaration must include the exact legal description and Assessor’s Parcel Number from your recorded deed or title policy. Other avoidable issues include names that do not match ID or title, an incorrect venue on the certificate, and preprinted wording that is not Nevada compliant. We verify these items, provide a clean acknowledgment, and keep text within required margins to help the Recorder accept your filing on the first submission.

If a county recorder rejects your deed due to improper notarization (wrong date, missing notary signature, incorrect venue, incomplete acknowledgment language), the remedy is typically re-notarization of the same deed rather than drafting an entirely new document. Minor errors in the notarial certificate can sometimes be corrected through amendment; major errors require the grantor to re-sign and have the document re-notarized.

Typical Fixes (No New Deed Needed):

✅ Re-notarization with corrected certificate attached
✅ Corrective affidavit prepared by notary explaining & curing the error
✅ Notary amendment striking through incorrect information and initialing corrections
✅ New notarial certificate on same deed (notary signs and dates the new certificate)

❌ When You May Need a New Deed:

• The legal description of property contains errors
• Grantor or grantee name is misspelled or incorrect
• The property transfer terms or conditions were altered
• The deed was never properly signed to begin with (beyond notary's control)

🏠 Next Steps:

Contact your title company immediately with the recorder's rejection letter. They'll advise whether a re-notarization, corrective affidavit, or new deed is required. Professional real estate closing notaries in Henderson and Downtown Summerlin provide same-day or next-business-day re-notarization to prevent closing delays.
