GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA
1993 SESSION
CHAPTER 80
AN ACT TO EXTEND THE COVERAGE OF THE CURATIVE STATUTE FOR DEEDS OMITTING THE ORDER OF REGISTRATION.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1. G.S. 47-50 reads as rewritten:
"§ 47-50. Order of registration omitted.
In all cases prior to December 31, 1980, 1992, where
it appears from the records of the office of the register of deeds of any county
in this State that the execution of a deed of conveyance or other instrument by
law required or authorized to be registered was duly signed and acknowledged as
required by the laws of the State of North Carolina, and the clerk of the
superior court of such county or other officer authorized to pass upon
acknowledgments and to order registration of instruments has failed either to
adjudge the correctness of the acknowledgment or to order the registration
thereof, or both, such registrations are hereby validated and the instrument so
appearing in the office of the register of deeds of such county shall be
effective to the same extent as if the clerk or other authorized officer had
properly adjudged the correctness of the acknowledgment and had ordered the
registration of the instrument."
Sec. 2. This act is effective upon ratification, but does not affect litigation pending on that date.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 25th day of May, 1993.
