How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “simply omitting a date from the certificate of acknowledgment will not render a mortgage invalid if ascertainment of the date clearly appears by evidence found within the recorded instrument itself.”
• because notary’s failure to date the acknowledgment does not undermine the purpose of the acknowledgment — “verifying] that the signed document is the intentional and voluntary act or deed of the signing party — such failure does not render the document void”
