Acknowledgments

Defective Acknowledgment in Deed
The deed recorded ________________________ contains a defective acknowledgment because _________________.
The Company requires:
(a) That the deed be properly re-acknowledged and re-recorded, or
(b) That a new satisfactory deed be
executed, properly acknowledged and recorded. The Company may then make
additional requirements or exceptions.
Comment: Use this requirement if a deed in the chain of title contains a defective acknowledgment that has not been cured by lapse of the statutory time. If any intervening liens, bankruptcies, or transfers have been filed by or against the grantor, also require those matters to be satisfied or excepted.
