# Art. 3341. Limits on the effect of recordation

The recordation of an instrument:

(1) Does not create a presumption that the instrument is valid or genuine.

(2) Does not create a presumption as to the capacity or status of the parties.

(3) Has no effect unless the law expressly provides for its recordation.

(4) Is effective only with respect to immovables located in the parish where the instrument is recorded.
