If a municipal plat or plat of an addition or subdivision\n\nwhich is executed and filed in the office of the county clerk of the\n\ncounty in which said plat is located fails to identify or correctly\n\ndescribe the land to be platted, the registered land surveyor who\n\nprepared said plat may execute a certificate stating the nature of\n\nthe error and cure said defect. The surveyor shall refer to said\n\nplat by correct page number and book in which said plat is recorded\n\nby the county clerk. Said certificate shall be dated and signed by\n\nsaid registered land surveyor.\n\nC. If the registered land surveyor who originally certified\n\nsaid plat pursuant to the provisions of Section 41-104 of this title\n\nis not available, or if said plat was not prepared by a registered\n\nland surveyor, a certificate as provided for in subsection B of this\n\nsection may be executed by any registered land surveyor, provided\n\nsaid certificate states the reasons why the registered land surveyor\n\nwho prepared the plat was not available or that said plat was not\n\noriginally prepared by a registered land surveyor.\n\nD.
