Lib. TH. No. 2, fol. 382. |
Acknowledgment
of deeds in the
county where land
lies, or grantor resides,
not necessary.
Proviso. |
1. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
all deeds heretofore made for conveying or passing any estate of
inheritance or freehold, or declaring or limiting any use or uses,
trust or trusts, or for conveying any estate for above seven years,
and acknowledged before two justices of the peace of any county in
this state in which the acknowledgment is made, shall, notwithstanding
the same may have been acknowledged neither in the
county where the lands lie, nor where the grantor or grantors resides,
have the same effect and validity as if such deeds had been
acknowledged before any judge of the late general court, or before
a judge of the county or district court where the lands lie, or the
grantor or grantors reside; Provided, it shall appear, in cases
of
feme-covert grantors, that the same was made willingly, and out
of
the presence and hearing of the husband, or privately and willingly
out of the hearing of the husband, or words to that effect; And
provided also, that in every other respect the said deeds have been
executed, acknowledged and recorded, agreeably to the laws heretofore
made on this subject. |
Certain deeds not
within the operation
of the original
act and its supplements.
Proviso. |
2. AND BE IT ENACTED, That nothing contained
in the said original
act, or the supplements thereto, shall extend, or be construed
to extend, to make valid any deed, where the person or persons
who would have been entitled to the property contained in such deed
of conveyance, in case the same had originally been valid and effectual
to convey the property expressed in the same, shall have given
up his, her or their interest in the same, and where the person or
persons entitled to such property, independent and exclusive of such
defective deed, may have bona fide sold and conveyed the same, but
in all such instances the person or persons to whom the property
shall have been at last aforesaid mentioned sold and conveyed, shall
continue to hold the same estate and interest in the property so to
him, her or them, sold and conveyed, as he, she or they, would have
held in case the said original acts, and the supplements thereto had
not passing, any thing in the same contained to the contrary notwithstanding;
Provided, that nothing in this act contained shall extend,
or be construed to extend, to interfere with, or affect, any
deed or deeds excepted out of the operation of the original act by
the proviso contained in such act. |
