Only when a county clerk has separately approved the underlying bargain
Correct Answer
A. Only when it has been acknowledged or proved, and such acknowledgment or proof has been duly certified when certification is required
AI Explanation
Recordability depends on acknowledgment or proof, not merely on signature. Real Property Law §333 states that a conveyance may not be recorded unless acknowledged or proved and duly certified when certification is required. For contrast, New York does not generally require a notary seal for validity of the act.
