§ 62-15-23. Recordation of mortgages
Any mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument executed by a cooperative or foreign

terms, creates a lien upon real and personal property then owned or after-acquired,
and which is recorded as a mortgage of real property in any county in which such property

the lien thereof to attach to all after-acquired property of the mortgagor of the
nature herein described as being mortgaged or pledged thereby immediately upon the
acquisition thereof by the mortgagor, and such lien shall be superior to all claims
of creditors of the mortgagor and purchasers of such property and to all other liens,
