Section PRP.05.39 — Priority

(a) The priority of the lien of a Mortgage or other document shall be determined by the date and time it was received by the Recording Clerk for recording (unless the Mortgage or other document expressly states that it is made subordinate to other liens). That priority shall be superior to all Subordinate Liens other than liens for Tribal taxes.

(b) Notwithstanding the date and time endorsed on the Mortgage, the log shall definitively establish the date and time a Mortgage or other document is received for recording.

(c) The validity of a Mortgage or other document shall be determined by federal and Tribal law.
