Sec. 2-2-13.
Any city office, in which deeds, mortgages, or other
instruments were required or authorized to be recorded by the city's
special charter in lieu of recording the instruments in the office of the
recorder in the county where the city, or a major portion thereof,
is situated, shall be discontinued whenever the city is incorporated under
this Code. The city officer, who holds this office and has custody of the
records, books, and papers of the office, shall deliver them to the
recorder of the county specified in this section, and shall take
the receipt of the recorder therefor. Thereafter, these records, books, and
papers shall be a part of the records of the recorder's office and shall
have the same legal effect as if they had been originally a part of the
records of the recorder's office. They, or certified transcripts made
therefrom, shall have the same force and effect as evidence as other
records in the recorder's office.
