Section 10-2B-1.24Correcting filed document.
(a) A domestic or foreign corporation may correct a document filed by the probate judge or the Secretary of State if the document (1) contains, through accident or inadvertence, clerical or otherwise, an incorrect statement or (2) was defectively executed, attested, sealed, verified, or acknowledged, without refiling the entire document or submitting formal articles of amendment.
(b) A document is corrected:
(1) By preparing articles of correction that (i) describe the document (including its filing date) or attach a copy of it to the articles, (ii) specify the incorrect statement and the reason it is incorrect or the manner in which the execution was defective, and (iii) correct the incorrect statement or defective execution; and
(2) By delivering the articles to the probate judge or the Secretary of State, as the case may be, for filing.
(c) Articles of correction are effective on the effective date of the document they correct except as to persons relying on the uncorrected document and adversely affected by the correction. As to those persons, articles of correction are effective when filed.
