It may still be effective, but a certificate of conformity may be required when New York relies on the law of the other place.
It is valid only if reacknowledged later before a New York notary public.

Correct Answer
B. It may still be effective, but a certificate of conformity may be required when New York relies on the law of the other place.
AI Explanation
New York allows a choice-of-law approach for out-of-state and foreign acknowledgments. Real Property Law §299-a provides that an acknowledgment or proof taken outside New York may be taken either in the manner prescribed by New York law or by the law of the place where taken, and Real Property Law §301-a addresses the certificate of conformity used when the latter path is relied upon. Not to be confused with the uniform New York forms in §§309-a and 309-b, conformity concerns compliance with another jurisdiction's law.
