The holder of a duplicate certificate of title may at any time present such duplicate
certificate to the county recorder and request him to continue such duplicate certificate
to date and enter thereon all memorials and notations on the registered certificate
of title, not appearing on such duplicate certificate, and also enter references to

that said application is made in good faith for the purpose of closing up a bona fide
transfer or encumbrance of the land or some part thereof described in such duplicate
certificate, naming the proposed transferee or encumbrancer, and thereupon the recorder
shall note upon the registered certificate and also upon the duplicate certificate
of title a stay of registration for the period of twenty-four hours of all instruments
and papers affecting said land other than those relating to, or connected with such
proposed transfer or encumbrance. All such other instruments and papers so filed within said twenty-four hours shall
be registered after and subordinate to such instruments relating to, or connected
with such proposed transfer or encumbrance provided the latter are filed within said
twenty-four hours.
