Help if you can

I've never seen this wording before. "The foregoing instrument was acknowledged before me on 'date' by 'affiant' who is/are personally known to me or who has produced a drivers license as identification and who did not take an oath. It's the 'did not take an oath' part that threw me. Are they just clarifying that it's an ack and not a jurat? By the way, this was on the survey aff. and the owners aff. Maybe I'm just tired. Thanks

This sounds like one of the TCT junk docs. Although the wording is somewhat sloppy, it is an Ack.

I agree with Hampton_CA.

I had a signing with some docs like that a few weeks ago ... A few of them said at the beginning of the docs "being sworn and deposed" or similar ... so I guessed the "and did not take an oath" was an efficient, if confusing, way of asserting the fact they are in fact acknowledgments. Some time on the phone with SS established which was what.

I wound up putting my own certificates on each of the six (?) documents which were worded so oddly ... and I stuck in at the end "and did not take an oath". LOL
