Sealed and unsealed writings; conveyances; compromise or
settlement
Sec. 1. (a) There is no difference in evidence between sealed and
unsealed writings. Every writing that is not sealed has the same force
and effect that it would have if sealed.
(b) A writing under seal, except conveyances of real estate or any
interest in real estate, may be changed or altogether discharged by a
writing not under seal.
(c) An agreement in writing, without a seal, for the compromise
or settlement of a debt, is as obligatory as if a seal were affixed.
As added by P.L.1-1998, SEC.33.
