In
order to admit a mortgage to record, it must be attested by or acknowledged
before an officer as prescribed for the attestation or acknowledgment of deeds
of bargain and sale; and, in the case of real property, a mortgage must also be
attested or acknowledged by one additional witness. In the absence of fraud, if
a mortgage is duly filed, recorded, and indexed on the appropriate county land
records, such recordation shall be deemed constructive notice to subsequent bona
fide purchasers.
