Brenda suggests:
***If it's not substantially like ours, Hugh, I would attach my own with the wording from the handbook.***
The wording of the acknowledgement was not the problem, Brenda. As you are aware, Texax does not put a straitjacket on the wording for either a jurat or an acknowledgement; as long as it has the >>required<< items, it will get the job done. The problem was that the attorney's office had substituted acknowledgements for jurats throughout. I did an entire closing without one jurat.
I thought about it, and called the attorney's office to ask if they wanted me to make another trip with jurats in hand. The woman who prepared the packet did not even know the difference between a jurat and an acknowledgement. She said that's all they ever use.
Bottom line: I done my dooty. I have a clear conscience. Well...if I >>have<< a conscience, I'm pretty sure it is clear. |
