Chap. 174.—An ACT to validate acknowledgments to deeds of trust, taken by per-

take acknowledgments. [S 145]

Approved March 10, 1944

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. Any certificate of acknowledgment of any deed of trust, here-
tofore taken and certified by a person named as trustee therein who was,
at the time of taking the acknowledgment, an officer authorized by law
to take acknowledgments of deeds, are declared to be as valid and of
the same force and effect as if such person had not been a trustee in the
deed of trust; provided that this act shall not affect any right or remedy
of any third party, which accrued after the recordation of the deed of
trust and before the effective date of this act.
