This bill amends the law regarding scrivener's affidavits in Arkansas, specifically addressing who is authorized to execute and record such affidavits. The amendment adds two new categories of individuals who can perform this function: licensed engineers or surveyors who prepared the original survey or related documents affecting real property, and notaries public who witnessed the execution of an original instrument that contains an error and executed an acknowledgment to that instrument.

The changes aim to clarify and expand the scope of professionals who can assist in correcting errors in property-related documents, thereby streamlining the process for property owners and ensuring that affidavits can be executed by qualified individuals in relevant circumstances.
