Heading: Scott County Recorder's Office and the MidCountry Mortgage

Text: When the deed to the Krueger properties and the MidCountry mortgage were delivered to the Scott County Recorder's Office to be recorded, the deed and the mortgage were labeled as received on May 19, 2004, and were marked as document numbers A657035 and A657036, respectively. The deed to the Krueger properties was entered into the TriMin system prior to the MidCountry mortgage. But because the deed transferred only the two Krueger properties, the deed only contained the legal descriptions of those two Krueger properties. Only those two descriptions were entered into the TriMin system as being related to that document. The next document was the MidCountry mortgage, and the recorder's office cloned the legal descriptions from the deed for the legal descriptions in the TriMin system for the mortgage. Because the legal descriptions in the deed referenced the two Krueger properties and only those legal descriptions were cloned for the mortgage, the only way that the TriMin system showed the mortgage as encumbering the third propertythe Hinshaw property was by the imaged copy of page three of the mortgage, which stated that it encumbered the Hinshaw property in addition to the Krueger properties.
