In filing our quitclaim deed, transferring property in Pawtucker, RI from my wife and I to a Living Revocable Trust, the attorney recorded our current address as Pawtucket, RI. A corrective quitclaim deed had to be filed because the original one had my wife and I on the top line as residents of Pawtucket, Rhode Iasland, which is the address of the property. The City immediately changed our address back to Pawtucket and sent our tax notices there. Because of this, we were forced to file a corrected quitclaim deed. The attorney is charging $300 for the correction and claims it was a City of Pawtucket clerk error.
We want to know whether the local attorney should have recognized that we, the owners, were residents of Hawaii and filed the deed initially that way.
He certainly knew we were residents of Hawaii.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Robert!
Welcome to forums!
If the attorney knew that you were the residents of Hawaii, then he should have mentioned the correct information while recording the deed. I personally feel that it is the error on the part of the attorney.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
