Deed of Trust

Question: Deed in dispute, will the date ruin it for me?

I have a deed in trust dispute with an ex. The deed was written up but never recorded(it not being recorded is not an issue where I live. Maryland). The dispute is involving owenership. He is contesting ownership, I say we are co-owners. The lawyer who drafted the deed did not change the deed date at the top of the first page of the deed, so it reads; this deed made this day march 3, 2004 instead of may 9, 2005; will this hurt my case/chances? The rest of the dates (signatures...etc...is correct)
oh we were never married, but yeah i think this is really gonna depend on the judge as sometimes dates do not invalidate a contract and sometimes they do...any advice will still ease my thoughts!

Answer: It probably varies by state law. In NC, the property is jointly owned by couples, even if it is only registered on one person's name. This is true, unless there is a prenup.
