Powers & Duties of Notary

For a dissolved corporation, an acknowledgment under Real Property Law §309 may be made by:

A

Any former employee

B

Any shareholder with stock certificates

C

An officer, director, or duly appointed attorney in fact authorized to execute the instrument

D

Only a county clerk

Correct Answer

C. An officer, director, or duly appointed attorney in fact authorized to execute the instrument

AI Explanation

The statute expressly preserves a dissolved-corporation pathway. Real Property Law §309 permits acknowledgment in the case of a dissolved corporation by an officer, director, or duly appointed attorney in fact authorized to execute the instrument. For contrast, an ordinary employee is not enough unless separately authorized and fitting the statute.
