(a) The notice of claim required to be filed in Section 2 hereof shall contain an accurate and full description of all land affected by such notice, which description shall be set forth in particular terms and not by general inclusions; but, if said claim is founded upon a recorded instrument, then the description in such notice may be the same as that contained in such recorded instrument. The notice shall set forth clearly the basis for and the extent or nature of the claimant's alledged interest, and be signed, acknowledged and filed for record in the county clerk's office of the county or counties where the land described therein is situated. The county clerk of each county shall accept all such notices presented to him which describe land located in the county in which he serves, and shall enter, record, and index the same in the same way that deeds are recorded, and each county clerk shall be entitled to charge the same fees for the recording thereof as are charged for recording deeds. In indexing such notices in his office, each county clerk shall enter such notices in the index of deeds and in the numerical index of deeds. The names of the claimants appearing in such notices are to be entered as grantees in such indexes. (b) Recording of such notice after a purchase for value has been effected shall not impair the rights of the purchaser for value or the rights of the heirs, successors and assigns of such purchaser. (c) If any person required under this act to file a notice to protect his rights as against a purchaser for value is a minor or incompetent or unborn contingent remainderman, such notice may be filed by his guardian, person having custody of him, his next friend or any person interested in his estate or any person who represents him as attorney, agent, or in another capacity. Minority, incompetency or other disability shall not suspend the operation of this act.
