What is strange is, that in most land / mortgage contracts, the closing documents are one sided. On a loan, the one making the loan does not sign that he is loaning anything. The one receiving the loan, signs his future away on the dotted line, with the notary signing as a witness that they acknowledge the buyer's signature. On a Contract to Purchase land, The one making the offer for land signs, and the notary signs as a witness that they acknowledge the seller's signature, but the buyer, never signs that they accepted the offer! This of course is standard operating procedure, and legal, but it does not have all the elements of a lawful contract on it.
As the Assignee by Contract, as evidenced by a clear chain of title back to the Severance of the Sovereign's conveyance of Public Lands into Private Hands, one may wish to Acknowledge their acceptance of their Assignment of the original Land Patent or Grant, by Contract, and have a Public Notary witness your Acceptance of this assignment, and then record this with your Certified Copy of your Patent from the Land Office, along with your Chain of Title in the County Records.
