Syllabus

A principal that allows an ostensible agent act with apparent authority may be bound by the agent's actions. A principal may expressly or impliedly ratify an ostensible agent's acts by conduct or failure to timely disavow the acts. A third party is required to exercise diligence and prudence in determining whether an agent acted for a principal. N.D.C.C. § 35-03-05 provides a standard mortgage form.
