Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(765 ILCS 5/35c) (from Ch. 30, par. 34c)
Sec. 35c. Whenever any deed or instrument of conveyance or other instrument
to be made a matter of record is executed there shall be typed or printed
to the side or below all signatures the names of the parties signing such
instruments including the witnesses thereto, if any, and the names of the
parties or officers taking the acknowledgments. The absence or neglect to
print or type the names of the parties under the signatures shall not
invalidate the instrument.
Whenever any deed or instrument of conveyance or other instrument to be made a matter of record is executed, the signatures of the parties making the conveyance shall be acknowledged by a notary public appointed and commissioned by the Secretary of State or by one of the courts or officers designated in Section 20 of this Act. Failure to comply with this provision shall not invalidate the instrument.
Whenever any deed or instrument of conveyance is executed the name and
address of the owner or owners to whom subsequent tax bills are to be sent
shall be endorsed on the instrument. The absence or neglect of any one to
comply with this provision shall not invalidate the instrument.
Whenever any deed or instrument of conveyance is executed and is to be
made a matter of record wherein a
metes and bounds description is incorporated, the metes and bounds
description shall contain the section, township and range with an
identifiable point of beginning. Subsequent courses shall contain
approximate linear distance and direction values, direction being defined
as any one or more of the following:
a. The angular relationship of the described course |
|
b. The bearing of the described course relative to
|
| the bearing of a described course.
|
|
c. The relationship of the described course to a
|
| known line, or a point thereon, such as a previously described course in the same description or a line of a section or fraction thereof or a line in a platted lot or block.
|
|
If references are made to existing monuments or points or lines of
previously recorded conveyances, the instant description shall contain
sufficient information so that it may be located without reference to
matters outside the instant description.
The neglect to comply with the provisions of this Section shall not
invalidate the instrument.
