S.D. Codified Laws § 44-8-11
Current through the 2024 Legislative Session
Every grant of real property, or of any estate therein, which appears, by any other writing, to be intended as a mortgage, must be recorded as a mortgage; and if such grant and other writing explanatory of its true character are not recorded together at the same time and place, the grantee can derive no benefit from such record.
