Otherwise, we’d recommend you consult a real estate attorney to have a new Deed drafted.

Important Notes:

  • All deeds submitted to the Oneida County Clerk must include a legal description of the property, along with a copy of the full deed.
  • It is required that both the Grantor(s)’ and Grantee(s)’ full names and physical addresses be on the document along with their original, notarized signatures.
  • ** There is not to be any white out, nor redaction on the document. Should an error need correction, we recommend a new deed be drawn. In the event a new deed cannot be produced, we ask that the error be crossed out with a single line and initialed by the corrector. **
