and 12A:9-109 . (b) Real-property-related financing statements. Except as otherwise provided in 12A:9-501(b), to be sufficient, a financing statement

that covers as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, or which is filed as a fixture

filing and covers goods that are or are to become fixtures, must satisfy subsection

(a) and also: (1) indicate that it covers this type of collateral; (2) indicate that it is to be filed in the real property records; (3) provide a description of the real property to which the collateral is related;

and (4) if the debtor does not have an interest of record in the real property, provide

the name of a record owner. (c) Record of mortgage as financing statement. A record of a mortgage is effective, from the date of recording, as a financing

statement filed as a fixture filing or as a financing statement covering as-extracted

collateral or timber to be cut only if: (1) the record indicates the goods or accounts that it covers; (2) the goods are or are to become fixtures related to the real property described

in the record or the collateral is related to the real property described in the record

and is as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut; (3) the record satisfies the requirements for a financing statement in this section,

but: (A) the record need not indicate that it is to be filed in the real property records;

and (B) the record sufficiently provides the name of a debtor who is an individual if

it provides the individual name of the debtor or the surname and first personal name

of the debtor, even if the debtor is an individual to whom 12A:9-503(a)(4) applies;

and (4) the record is recorded. (d) Filing before security agreement or attachment. A financing statement may be filed before a security agreement is made or a security

interest otherwise attaches.
