1parties be typed or printed below the signatures and that the
2form have a blank space of 3 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches for use
3by the recorder shall not affect the validity and effect of
4such form.
5    Such mortgage, when otherwise properly executed, shall be
6deemed and held a good and sufficient mortgage in fee to secure
7the payment of the moneys therein specified; and if the same

13no such covenants shall be implied. When the grantor or

18the case may be), provided in Sections 9, 10 and 11, after the

20"hereby releasing and waiving all rights under and by virtue of
21the homestead exemption laws of this State."
22    Mortgages securing "reverse mortgage" loans shall be
23subject to this Section except where requirements concerning
24the definiteness of the term and amount of indebtedness
25provisions of a mortgage would be inconsistent with the Acts
26authorizing "reverse mortgage" loans, or rules and regulations

5Section, no person may challenge the validity or priority of an
6otherwise lawfully executed and recorded mortgage solely on the
7basis that the rate of interest was not expressed in the
8recorded mortgage instrument.
