The formal declaration of a subscribing witness describing the execution of an instrument.
A statement by the notary that an oath was administered.
A translation attached to a foreign-language deed.
Correct Answer
B. The formal declaration of a subscribing witness describing the execution of an instrument.
AI Explanation
This asks for the defined meaning of "Proof." Under the booklet’s "Definitions and General Terms," proof is the formal declaration made by a subscribing witness to the execution of an instrument, including residence and knowledge of the signer. Not to be confused with an "authentication certificate," which comes from the county clerk rather than the subscribing witness.
