Purpose.

- O.C.G.A. § 44-14-140 merely had for its purpose the relieving of the party taking the junior conveyance of the necessity of searching the records more than seven years back. City Whsle. Co. v. Harper, 100 Ga. App. 151, 110 S.E.2d 561 (1959).

Limited effect of section.

- O.C.G.A. § 44-14-140 merely provides that notice expires at the end of seven years from the date of the filing of instruments for record. Standing alone, that section merely takes from the law the provision that such filing would be notice after the expiration of seven years, nothing more. It does not, in any sense, purport to alter the fact that once notice has been afforded, the respective priorities of the junior and senior instruments are fixed. City Whsle. Co. v. Harper, 100 Ga. App. 151, 110 S.E.2d 561 (1959).
