We get that always: documentary recording packages with documents out of order, subordinations not listing references correctly, etc...
As a recording service, we are paid to submit documents. Conversely, the law prevents us from submitting documents which are knowingly in error, as this would constitute fraud. As we do not have the authority to correct errors, we turn a "blind eye" to the problems by not pre-reviewing documents before recordation. We prefer to receive them from the client on the same day that they are scheduled to record so that we can submit them without review by our firm, so that we have the same "plausible denial" that government likes to operate on.
On the other hand, in the research side of our firm, we then frequently run across papers that we ourselves submitted for recording which then bear the same problems. It's a Catch-22 for sure for us. At least our notaries are held to exacting standards, as I've never seen a single one of our acknoweldgments or seals come back to us as invalid in over 10 years.
