Stat. § 47-37.1","heading":"Other forms of proof.","body":"(a)\tThe proof and acknowledgment forms set forth in this Article are not exclusive. Without regard to whether an instrument presented for registration was signed by an individual acting in his or her own right or by an individual acting in a representative or fiduciary capacity, a notarial certificate that complies with the provisions of Part 6 of Article 1 or Part 5 of Article 2 of Chapter 10B of the General Statutes is deemed a sufficient form of probate or acknowledgment for purposes of this Chapter. Use of a notarial certificate that satisfies the requirements of Part 6 of Article 1 or Part 5 of Article 2 of Chapter 10B of the General Statutes is not a ground for a register of deeds to refuse to accept a record for registration.\n(b)\tWhen an instrument presented for registration purports to be signed by an individual in a representative or fiduciary capacity, the acknowledgment or proof of that individual's signature may do any of the following:\n(1)\tState that the individual signed the instrument in a representative or fiduciary capacity.\n(2)\tState that the individual who signed the instrument in a representative or fiduciary capacity had authority to do so.\n(3)\tIdentify the represented person or the fiduciary capacity.\n(c)\tThis section relates only to the form of proof or acknowledgment. The capacity and authority of the individual who signs an instrument presented for registration are governed by other provisions of law.\n(d)\tRepealed by Session Laws 2021-91, s. 7, effective October 1, 2021.
