Witness the following signature."

            In lieu of the recording of a deed of trust, there may be recorded with like effect a memorandum of the deed of trust, executed by all persons who are grantors under the deed of trust and acknowledged in the manner to entitle a conveyance to be recorded. A memorandum of deed of trust entitled to be recorded shall contain at least the following information with respect to the deed of trust: (1) The name and the address of each grantor, the name and the address of each trustee and the name and the address of each beneficiary as set forth in the deed of trust; (2) a reference to the indebtedness secured by the deed of trust including the amount of the indebtedness and the date the indebtedness was incurred or if the indebtedness is evidenced by a note or contract, the date the instrument was executed; (3) the date of execution of the deed of trust if different than the date the evidence of indebtedness was executed; (4) a description of the real estate against which a lien is claimed to secure the indebtedness; (5) entitled in compliance with subsection (b), section fourteen, article one, chapter thirty-eight of this code if the indebtedness is a line of credit; (6) a statement of whether advances are obligatory if the indebtedness is a line of credit; and (7) a summary of the applicable notice and publication requirements if there is a default. The memorandum shall constitute notice of only the information contained therein but, as against creditors and purchasers, it is as valid as if the complete deed of trust were recorded on the date the memorandum is admitted to record.

CHAPTER 40. ACTS VOID AS TO CREDITORS AND PURCHASERS.

ARTICLE 1. ACTS GENERALLY VOID AS TO CREDITORS AND PURCHASERS.

§40-1-9. Contracts, deeds and mortgages invalid as to creditors and purchasers until recorded.
