Likewise, a certification by the secretary of a corporation, bearing its corporate seal, that the board of directors adopted a resolution authorizing the execution of the instrument by designated officers is evidence of the authority of those officers to execute that instrument

A certified copy of resolutions sent to a mortgagee, and authorizing a mortgage, are sufficient proof without proving loss of the corporation records.

Each instrument was signed by the proper officers and had the seal of the corporation attached, and this afforded prima facie evidence that they were executed under the proper authority

The resolution itself recites that a consideration was given.[6] Ordinarily a corporation, in the absence of any countervailing proof, is bound by the facts recited in its resolutions

"Mortgage is a contract by which specific property is hypothecated for the performance of an act, without the necessity of a change of possession

It was held the mortgage conveyed her general title to the grantee for life only, the word "grantee" not including "heirs and assigns," and these words, used in the relinquishment of dower and homestead, not relating back so as to include, in the relinquishment of her general title to the grantee, his heirs and assigns.

The presentation of a certified copy of the board of directors' resolution, authorizing the officer to execute the instrument, similarly created a "disputable presumption" of express authority to execute it

Thus, a certified copy of a resolution authenticated by the corporate seal is presumptively the act of the corporation and admissible in evidence.
