Gregory R. Bell recorded a cluster of documents with the Lewis and Clark County Recorder this week, filing a corrected certificate of survey and two deeds on adjacent lots in the Ming Addition — while a third deed tied to a Syndicate Addition parcel recorded just days earlier. The filings, all listing Bell as both grantor and grantee, suggest the owner is restructuring how those properties are held on paper rather than transferring them to a new party.
The certificate of survey, recorded July 17, covers Block 159, Lots 7–9 of the amended Ming Addition, with the correction language suggesting a prior survey or plat description needed updating. Two deeds recorded the same day — Book M65, Pages 6082 and 6083 — cover the same Ming Addition lots. A third deed, recorded July 15 at Book M65, Page 5996, involves lots in the amended Syndicate Addition to Helena, also in Block 159.
Self-to-self deed transfers of this kind are common when property owners move parcels into or out of a trust, LLC, or other legal structure, or when they need to clear a title defect flagged by a title company. The corrected survey recorded alongside the deeds points to a boundary or description issue that needed resolution in the public record.
Public records show Bell has appeared in six filings tied to three distinct properties across Lewis and Clark County recorder databases. The concentrated activity this week — four documents in three days — indicates the restructuring or title cleanup work may now be complete.
