(B)

1. (1) When a real property instrument is delivered to and accepted by the county recorder of the county in which the real property is situated, and is signed and acknowledged by a person with an interest in the real property that is described in the instrument, the instrument raises both of the following:

   1. (a) A rebuttable presumption that the instrument conveys, encumbers, or is enforceable against the interest of the person who signed the instrument;
   2. (b) A rebuttable presumption that the instrument is valid, enforceable, and effective as if in all respects the instrument was legally made, executed, acknowledged, and recorded.
2. (2) The presumptions described in division (B)(1) of this section may be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence of fraud, undue influence, duress, forgery, incompetency, or incapacity.

(C) When a real property instrument is of record for more than four years from the date of recording of the instrument, and the record shows that there is a defect in the making, execution, or acknowledgment of the instrument, the instrument and the record thereof shall be cured of the defect and be effective in all respects as if the instrument had been legally made, executed, acknowledged, and recorded. The defects may include but are not limited to the following:

1. (1) The instrument was not properly witnessed.
2. (2) The instrument contained no certificate of acknowledgment.
3. (3) The certificate of acknowledgment is defective in any respect.
4. (4) The name of the person with an interest in the real property does not appear in the granting clause of the instrument, but the person signed the instrument without limitation.
