§  291-d. Recording of master forms of mortgage covenants and clauses;   incorporation thereof by reference. 1. An instrument containing  a  form   or   forms  of  mortgage  covenants,  conditions,  obligations,  powers,   releases, and other clauses  may  be  recorded  in  the  office  of  the   recording  officer  of  any  county and such recording officer, upon the   request of any person, on tender of  the  lawful  fees  therefor,  shall   record  the  same  in  his  said  office. Every such instrument shall be   entitled on the face thereof as a "Master form recorded by ....... (name   of person causing the instrument to be recorded)." Such instrument  need   not be acknowledged or proved or certified to be entitled to record.2.  When  any such instrument is recorded, the clerk or register shall   index such instrument under the name of the  person  causing  it  to  be   recorded  in  the manner provided for miscellaneous instruments relating   to real property.3. Thereafter any of the provisions of such master form instrument may   be incorporated by reference in any conveyance of real property situated   within the state, if such reference in the conveyance  states  that  the   master  form  instrument  was  recorded  in  the  county  in  which  the   conveyance is offered for record, the date when and the office, book and   page or pages where such master form instrument was recorded, and that a   copy of  such  master  form  instrument  was  furnished  to  the  person   executing  the  conveyance. The recording of any conveyance which has so   incorporated by reference therein any of the provisions of a master form   instrument recorded as provided in this section shall have  like  effect   as  if  such  provisions of the master form so incorporated by reference   had been set forth fully in the conveyance.4. Whenever an instrument of conveyance is presented for recording  on   which  is  set  forth  matter purporting to be a copy or reproduction of   such master form instrument or of part thereof, identified by its  title   as provided in subdivision one of this section and stating the date when   it  was  recorded  and  the  county,  office, book and page where it was   recorded, preceded by the words "do not record" or "not to be  recorded,   "  and  plainly  separated from the matter to be recorded as part of the   conveyance, in such manner that it will not appear upon  a  photographic   reproduction  of  any  page  containing any part of the conveyance, such   matter shall not be recorded by the county clerk or register to whom the   instrument is presented for recording; in such case the county clerk  or   register  shall  record  only  the conveyance apart from such matter and   shall not be liable for so doing, any other provisions  of  law  to  the   contrary notwithstanding.5.  For  the  purposes  of  any  provision of law relating to fees for   recording, entering or indexing of conveyances, or relating to searches,   furnishing of certified copies, reproduction by photographic  method  or   otherwise,  or  destruction,  or  to  any other matter pertaining to the   powers and duties of recording officers  with  respect  to  conveyances,   except  manner  of indexing thereof, the master form instrument provided   for in subdivision one of this section shall be deemed a conveyance.
