(A) Specify, in the caption or otherwise, the state and county or other place where the acknowledgment is taken;
(B) Set out the name of the person acknowledging and, in instances in which he or she acknowledges otherwise than in his or her own right, the name of the person, association, or corporation for which he or she acknowledges; and
(C) Recite in substance or the equivalent that the execution of the instrument was acknowledged by the person so named as acknowledging, or any other form of acknowledgment provided by law.
(2) These forms may also be used when the property is to be affected in law or equity and also in any other case in which such an acknowledgment is for any purpose required or authorized by law.
(3) An acknowledgment in any of these forms shall be sufficient to entitle the instrument to be recorded and to be read in evidence.
