MR. POULSON,
If you should think the following information relative to the mode of executing, acknowledging, proving, and record- ing deeds, powers of attorney, &c. according to the laws of Pennsylvania, useful, it is at your service for publication.
Nov. 13, 1812. A. B.
The chief justice and judges of the Supreme Court, the president and associate judges of the Court of Common pleas , and the m.vor and recorder of the city of Philadelphia, have power to take the acknowledgment, or probate, of deeds, &c. . for lands in any part of the state.
The aldermen of the city of Philadelphia, have power to take the acknowledgment and probate of deeds, &c. for lands lying within the city or county of Philadelphia.
The justices of the peace of the several counties, have pow- er to take the acknowledgment, &c. of deeds for lands lying within their respective counties.
If the wife of a grantor is the party, the judge or justice, &c. taking the acknowledgment, must examine her separate and apart, from her husband, and shall read or otherwise make known to her the full contents of the deed, and on such se- parate examination, she is required to declare that she did voluntarily, of her own free'will and accord, seal and as her act and deed, deliver the same, all which must be certified under the hand and seal of the office".
Two witnesses are usually required to subscribe their names to the execution, and delivery of every deed.
In all cases it is advisable that the grantor should acknow. ledgø the deed, but if he be de.ul, or cannot appear, it may be proved by the oath or affirmation of one or more of the witnesses, who were present at the execution thereof.
If the grantor and witnesses are dead, the hand writing of the latter inay be proved by oath or affirmation, but when that proof cannot be had then the hand writing of the grantor may be proved in like manner.
Deeds made out of the state, may be acknowledged by the grantors, or proved by one or more of the witnesses thereto, before any mayor, chief magistrate, or officer of the city, town, or place where executed, and certified under the com- mon or public seal of such city, town, or place, the officer tak- ing care to certity the private examination of the wife as aforesaid.
Bonds, specialties, letters of attorney, and other powers in writing, require two or more witnesses, and if executed ous of the state, must be proved by them before any mayor, chief magistrate, or officer of the city, town, or place whe e exe- cuted, and certified under the common or public seal of the said city, &c.
