16-47-217. Validation of prior acknowledgments -- Construction of uniform act.

It is the intent and purpose of this section that all acknowledgments taken subsequent to Acts 1957, No. 411 either in accordance with the Uniform Acknowledgment Act or in accordance with the laws of this state in effect at the time of adoption of the Uniform Acknowledgment Act be cured and validated for all purposes; and that neither Acts 1957, No. 411 nor the Uniform Acknowledgment Act to which it is amendatory shall be construed to repeal or modify any laws relative to the taking of acknowledgments and the authentication thereof which were in effect in this state at the time of adoption of the Uniform Acknowledgment Act, but that the Uniform Acknowledgment Act shall be deemed to provide an alternative system for taking and authenticating acknowledgments.
