2.

Each of the documents named in paragraph (a) of subsection 1 may be recorded in separate books in the discretion of the county recorder.

3.

Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, before accepting for recording any document enumerated in subsection 1, the county recorder shall require a document suitable for recording by a method used by the recorder to preserve the recorder’s records. The county recorder may conform the size of a declaration of homestead that does not meet the formatting requirements set forth in subsection 3 of NRS 247.110 so that the declaration is suitable for recording by a method used by the recorder to preserve the recorder’s records. If any rights may be adversely affected because of a delay in recording caused by this requirement, the county recorder shall accept the document conditionally subject to submission of a suitable document at a later date. Before accepting a document conditionally, the recorder shall require the person who requests the recording to sign a statement that the person has been advised of the requirements described in this subsection and record the statement with the document.
