1 Introductory language states, “[a]ny certificate of acknowledgment taken within this state shall be in the following form” CAL CIV. CODE §1189 (1)(2012)(emphasis added). However, California courts are liberal, despite the mandatory statutory language, when analyzing the sufficiency of an acknowledgement’s language. “[I]t was the policy of the law to construe certificates of acknowledgment liberally, and, if words of equivalent import to those of the statute were employed, it was sufficient, and the certificate would not be vitiated by unsubstantial clerical errors, nor by omission of words not essential to an intelligent understanding of its meaning. Technical construction is to be avoided wherever the words are reasonably susceptible of an interpretation which will give meaning to all of its clauses and make it legally effective.” Favello v. Bank of Am. Nat’l Trust & Sav. Ass'n, 74 P.2d 1057, 1059 (Cal. Ct. App. 1938)(citing several cases as a standing practice to interpret such certificates of acknowledgement liberally).
