The officer or person making the sale shall forthwith execute, acknowledge, and deliver, to each purchaser a deed of the premises bid off by the officer or person making the sale; and if the lands are situated in several counties, the officer or person making the sale shall make separate deeds of the lands in each county, and specify in each deed the precise amount for which each parcel of land described in the deed was sold. The officer or person making the sale shall endorse upon each deed the time when the deed becomes operative, if the premises are not redeemed according to law. Each deed shall, as soon as practicable, and within 20 days after such sale, be deposited with the register of deeds of the county in which the land described in the deed is situated, and the register shall endorse on the deed the time the deed was received, and for the better preservation thereof, shall record the deed at length in a book to be provided in his or her office for that purpose; and shall index the deed in the regular index of deeds. The fee for recording the deed shall be included among the other costs and expenses allowed by law. In case such premises shall be redeemed, the register of deeds shall, at the time of destroying the deed, as provided in section 49l, write on the face of the record the word “redeemed”, stating at what date the entry is made, and signing the entry with his or her official signature.
