The acknowledgement (certifying to identity and execution of document) language for NYS is different to what I have seen for many other states. Therefore, the NY language has to be attached to the applicable doc. (mortgage, some ID forms). The jurat language (Subscribed and sworn before me the day of)(administration of an oath to the affiant) I would think would be on all affidavits and not an acknowledgement. I have seen language just a tad different from NY Jurat language on affidavits when I have closed for NY property but affidavits prepared by out of NYS title company. I used to close for a RI bank that would put NY (for NY property) acknowledgment language on a name affidavit and no matter what we said to them they would not change it. Anyway, I hope I have not muddied the waters and am understanding the situation, but all affidavits should have jurat language so I don't know what all those certificates were for. |
