Section 7-615. Corrections to be without erasures  


Latest version.
  • No entry in any book or
      index in the register's office or the office of the clerk of the  county
      of  Richmond  shall  be erased so as to be illegible, but in case of any
      correction the same shall be made without destroying the original  entry
      by drawing a line through such original entry, and in all such cases the
      date  of  such  correction attested by the signature of such register or
      county clerk or his or her assistant shall be entered upon the same page
      on  which  such  correction  is  made,  on  the  margin  opposite   such
      correction.  Such  correction  shall only be made upon the production to
      the register or county clerk of the original instrument, or, when it  is
      impossible  to  produce  the  original  instrument,  the register or the
      county clerk, however, may make any correction of the records in his  or
      her  office  where it is obvious or apparent that an error has been made
      in recording or indexing any instrument.
