34-37-1-1 Sealed and unsealed writings

    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.
