Bill Summary

To Amend The Law Concerning Scrivener's Affidavits; And To Allow A Licensed Engineer, Surveyor, Or Notary Public To Execute And Record A Scrivener's Affidavit In Certain Circumstances.

AI Summary

This bill amends Arkansas law to expand who can execute and record a scrivener's affidavit, which is a legal document used to correct errors or clarify details in property-related records. Specifically, the bill allows two additional types of professionals to create these affidavits: (1) licensed engineers or surveyors who originally prepared a survey, plat, replat, lot split, boundary line adjustment, or other instrument related to real property title, and (2) notary publics who witnessed the original execution of an instrument and previously executed an acknowledgement that contains an error. By broadening the list of professionals who can create these affidavits, the bill aims to provide more flexibility and efficiency in correcting property documentation, potentially reducing bureaucratic hurdles for property owners and professionals who need to make technical corrections to legal documents.
