My wife's name was recorded in the incorrect order on our VA Land Deed. Do we need anything more than a Correction Deed to show true ownership and not trip and Title Search verifications.

A deed of correction should suffice; if you have the actual original deed, you can also mark through the incorrect name, write in the correct name, get the parties to all initial the change, write in the margin an explanation of why it is being corrected, and then re-record it in the Clerk's office.
