Validity of notarial acts

53-5a26. Validity of notarial acts. (a) Except as otherwise provided in K.S.A. 53-5a25(b), and amendments thereto, the failure of a notarial officer to perform a duty or meet a requirement specified in this act does not invalidate a notarial act performed by the notarial officer. The validity of a notarial act under this act does not prevent an aggrieved person from seeking to invalidate the record or transaction that is the subject of the notarial act or from seeking other remedies based on state or federal law. This section does not validate a purported notarial act performed by an individual who does not have the authority to perform notarial acts. (b) This section shall take effect on and after January 1, 2022. History: L. 2021, ch. 64, § 26; July 1.
