(2) The Registrar shall cause each instrument or caveat received by
the Registrar for filing or registration to be examined and if it is
found to be complete and in the proper form and fit for filing or
RSA 2000
registration, the Registrar shall endorse on the instrument or caveat
the serial number assigned to it and the date on which the serial
number is assigned.
(3) For purposes of priority between mortgagees, transferees and
others, the serial number assigned to the instrument or caveat shall
determine the priority of the instrument or caveat filed or
registered.
(4) Notwithstanding subsections (2) and (3), instead of assigning a
serial number to an instrument or caveat, the Registrar may identify
the instrument or caveat by a means other than a serial number so
long as that other means of identification allows for the
determination of priority between mortgagees, transferees and
others.
