448.3 - EXECUTION AND EFFECT OF DEED.

        448.3  EXECUTION AND EFFECT OF DEED.         1.  The deed shall be signed by the county treasurer as such, and      acknowledged by the treasurer before some officer authorized to take      acknowledgments, and when substantially thus executed and recorded in      the proper record in the office of the recorder of the county in      which the parcel is situated, shall vest in the purchaser all the      right, title, interest, and claim of the state and county to the      parcel, and all the right, title, interest, and estate of the former      owner in and to the parcel conveyed.  However, the deed is subject to      all restrictive covenants, resulting from prior conveyances in the      chain of title to the former owner, and subject to all the right and      interest of a holder of a certificate of purchase from a tax sale      occurring after the tax sale for which the deed was issued.  The      issuance of the deed shall operate to cancel all suspended taxes.         2.  In the event that an owner of record or a person in whose name      the parcel is taxed establishes that such person was not served with      notice of expiration of right of redemption in accordance with      section 447.9, then the county treasurer's deed is void, subject to      the provisions of sections 448.15 and 448.16.  If a person entitled      to service of notice under section 447.9, other than an owner of      record or a person in whose name the parcel is taxed, establishes      that such person was not served with notice in accordance with      section 447.9, the deed is not thereby rendered invalid.  However,      the deed is subject to all of the right and interest of such person      not served with notice, as provided in sections 448.15 and 448.16.
