Registers' Review
NC Session Law 2005-123 (Senate Bill 734)
Registers' Review
Effective OCTOBER 1, 2005
Viewable at: http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/Sessions/2005/Bills/Senate/HTML/S734v5.html
Registers no longer “pass” on instruments in the manner previously
required. Session Law 2005-123 has eliminated the requirement that
registers certify that execution by one or more signers has been “duly
proved or acknowledged” and that the proof or acknowledgment is “in due
form.” The revised statute limits the register’s review to seeing if the
instrument has a proof or acknowledgment if one is required, and then only
checking that the proof or acknowledgment “by one or more signers
appears to have been proved or acknowledged before an officer with the
apparent authority to take proofs or acknowledgements, and the said proof
or acknowledgement includes the officer’s signature, commission expiration
date, and official seal, if required.” If these elements are present, registers
simply record the instrument; if not, the instruments are not to be accepted
for recording. G.S. 47-14(a) (2005)
