CHAPTER 391 
HOUSE BILL 293 

AN ACT TO VALIDATE THE REGISTRATION OF CERTAIN INSTRUMENTS CONTAINING A NOTARIAL JURAT INSTEAD OF AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  Article 4 of Chapter 47 of the General Statutes is amended by adding a new section to read: 
"§ 47-108.18.  Registration of certain instruments containing a notarial jurat validated. – A notarial jurat constitutes an acknowledgement in due form for all plats or maps that have heretofore been accepted for filing and registration under G.S. 47-30 as amended. No plat or map heretofore accepted for filing and registration, that contains a notarial jurat instead of an acknowledgement may be held to be improperly registered solely for lack of a proper acknowledgement." 
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification and does not affect pending litigation. 
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 26th day of May, 1983.
