Section 55-730 - RECORD OF PRIOR INSTRUMENTS AS NOTICE.

55-730. Record of prior instruments as notice. Any instrument affecting the title to real property which heretofore or on or before sixty (60) days after the adjournment of the legislature of the state of Idaho for 1947, is copied into the proper book of record, kept in the office of any county recorder, imparts notice of its contents to subsequent purchase (purchasers) and encumbrancers, notwithstanding any defect, omission or informality in the execution of the instrument, or in the certificate of acknowledgment thereof, or the absence of any such certificate; but nothing herein affects the rights of previous purchasers or encumbrancers. Duly certified copies of the record of any such instrument may be read in evidence with like effect as copies of an instrument duly acknowledged and recorded, provided, when such copying in the proper book of record occurred within five (5) years prior to the trial of the action, it be first shown that the original instrument was genuine.
