11-482. Incorporation by reference; legal
descriptions
A. Any recorded instrument may be incorporated by reference in any subsequent
instrument. The reference shall specify the record location of the referenced instrument
and has the same effect as if the referenced instrument were reproduced in full where
reference to it is made.
B. If a subsequent transaction is not to be subject to, controlled by or otherwise
affected by every term of the referenced instrument, such intent must be stated. A
reference to one term incorporates only that term.
C. If a legal description sufficient to determine the physical location of real
property has been recorded, a reference by record location to the instrument containing
the description is a sufficient description of the real estate. The reference may be
made to maps or plats, surveys, deeds or any other recorded instrument but must contain
language indicating that only the legal description is to be incorporated in the
subsequent instrument.
