Chain of title in Maricopa County, AZ
Question regarding recorded chain of title. Father in law had a beneficiary deed recorded to trust before he died and when I purchased the property from the trust, the title Co didn't record the death certificate that transfers ownership from him to the trust until 4 months after recorded the deed from the trust to me. Does this create an issue and should a correction deed to me from the trust be re-recorded so there are no future issues?
