§ 19-300. Master form - Definition - Labeling - Filing - Recording Incorporation by reference - Unrecordable matters

A. A master form shall be any instrument containing forms of

covenants, conditions, obligations, powers, or other clauses not

being acknowleged nor containing a legal description. Such

instrument shall be labeled on the first page as a master form and

may be filed and recorded in the office of the county clerk in the

same manner as provided for miscellaneous instruments relating to

real estate.

B. After recording and indexing of the master form, any of the

provisions of such master form may be incorporated by reference in

any subsequently recorded instrument. Provided, that, such

reference shall state that the master form was recorded in the

county in which the subsequently recorded instrument is offered for

recording, the date of recording and the book and pages where

recorded, and that a copy of such master form was furnished to the

persons executing the subsequently recorded instrument. The

recording of any subsequently recorded instrument which has so

incorporated by reference any of the provisions of a master form

properly recorded shall have like effect as if such provisions of

the master form so incorporated by reference had been set forth in

full in the subsequently recorded instrument.

C. Whenever a subsequently recorded instrument is presented for

recording in which is set forth matters purporting to be a copy or

reproduction of a master form and such matters are preceded by the

words, "do not record or not to be recorded", and such matters are

plainly separated from such instrument in such manner that such

matter will not appear upon a photographic reproduction of any page

containing any part of the instrument, such matter shall not be

recorded by the county clerk when the instrument is recorded. The

county clerk shall record only the instrument apart from such matter

and shall not be liable for doing such.
