§ 47‑37.1.  Other forms of proof.

(a)       The 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 capacity, a notarial certificate that complies with the provisions of Part 6 of Article 1 of Chapter 10B (G.S. 10B‑25 et. seq.) shall be 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 of Chapter 10B shall not be grounds for a register of deeds to refuse to accept a record for registration.

(b)       When an instrument presented for registration purports to be signed by an individual in a representative capacity, the acknowledgment or proof of that individual's signature may, but is not required to:

(1)       State that the individual signed the instrument in a representative capacity.

(2)       State that the individual who signed the instrument in a representative capacity had due authority to do so.

(3)       Identify the represented person or entity. (2005‑391, s. 9.)
