What is required to acknowledge a deed or mortgage?

Signature in the presence of one witness, on the same sheet as the instrument
Notarization and two witnesses
Photographic ID from the signer
The presence of a lawyer

The correct answer is: Signature in the presence of one witness, on the same sheet as the instrument

In order to acknowledge a deed or mortgage, a signature in the presence of one witness on the same sheet as the instrument is required. Option B is incorrect because notarization and two witnesses are only required for certain types of legal documents, such as wills. Option C is incorrect because while it can be helpful to have photographic ID from the signer, it is not required to acknowledge a deed or mortgage. Option D is incorrect because the presence of a lawyer is also not required for acknowledging a deed or mortgage.
