KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS

know all men by these presents.Take note. • This archaic form of address — a loan translation of the Latin noverint universi per praesentes — was traditionally used to begin certain legal documents such as bonds and powers of attorney, but in modern drafting style the phrase is generally considered deadwood. See NOVERINT UNIVERSI PER PRAESENTES. Cf. PATEAT UNIVERSIS PER PRAESENTES .
