Primary Text
In addition to the requisites stated in article
2085, it is indispensable, in order that a mortgage may be
validly constituted, that the document in which it appears
be recorded in the Registry of Property. If the instrument
is not recorded, the mortgage is nevertheless binding
between the parties.
The persons in whose favor the law establishes a
mortgage have no other right than to demand the
execution and the recording of the document in which
the mortgage is formalized. (1875a)
