§24.4.1 Errors in Releases.

Releases of encumbrances, leases, or other instruments which contain errors in recitals of the date, date of recording, book and page of record, or names of parties to the original instruments being released, should be considered sufficient if said releases give enough correct data to identify the instruments being released with reasonable certainty.

History: Adopted as (e.), September 1946, 17 O.B.A.J. 1372 (1946); became 5 on numbering in 1946, id. at 1578 & 1751; became 12 on renumbering in 1948, 19 O.B.A.J. 223, 225 (1948), at which time the current wording, "which releases contain errors," was substituted for the previous language, "containing errors." The 2002 Report of the Title Examination Standards Committee proposed renumbering and amending this Standard for consistency with its proposed new Standard 24.4.2. 73 O.B.J. 3004 (10/26/2002). The Real Property Law Section approved, Novmeber 21, 2002, and the House of Delegates adopted the proposal November 22, 2002.
