§ 107. § 2—107.

• Goods to be severed from realty: recording (1) A contract for the sale of minerals or the like (including oil and gas) or a structure
  or its materials to be removed from realty is a contract for the sale of goods within
  this article if they are to be severed by the seller but until severance a purported
  present sale thereof which is not effective as a transfer of an interest in land is
  effective only as a contract to sell. (2) A contract for the sale apart from the land of growing crops or other things attached
  to realty and capable of severance without material harm thereto but not described
  in subsection (1) of this section or of timber to be cut is a contract for the sale
  of goods within this article whether the subject matter is to be severed by the buyer
  or by the seller even though it forms part of the realty at the time of contracting,
  and the parties can by identification effect a present sale before severance. (3) The provisions of this section are subject to any third party rights provided by the
  law relating to realty records, and the contract for sale may be executed and recorded
  as a document transferring an interest in land and shall then constitute notice to
  third parties of the buyer’s rights under the contract for sale. (Amended 1993, No. 158 (Adj. Sess.), § 6, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.)
