Real property documents submitted to a county recorder generally must include a notarized acknowledgment or jurat (a sworn statement verified by a notary) before they can be officially recorded. This bill would create an exception to that rule, allowing county recorders to accept and record documents issued by the state or one of its political subdivisions without a notary's acknowledgment or jurat, as long as the lieutenant governor has affixed the state's Great Seal to the document. The bill also makes minor wording updates to related legal definitions but does not otherwise change the recording requirements that apply to other real estate documents.
