Deed Correction Advice

[James Luciano]

Hello BP. My father purchased two properties way before I was born in the Philadelphia area. That said,  he has rented the properties out for years. However, recently I performed a tax search on the property and I noticed my father had the deed under a nick name. That said, I have seeked out an attorney in the area to assist with the deed correction while also adding me a co-owner of both properties.  My question for you all is...should I be paranoid for any reason for an attorney to somehow take ownership/purchase of the property due to the nick name issue? Is this even a possibility? All loans and taxes on the property have been paid. Sorry I'm sure this sounds like a dumb question.

Sorry to be blunt but yea, its a dumb question. You are suspicious of the attorney you hired or about to hire to correct this issue. While its certainly possible for it to occur, I doubt its the highly likely it will happen, but hey, you never know. If you are suspicious then why not find a more reputable firm to deal with this. Will cost you more money but they have their reputation on the line to do anything unscrupulous.
