     284.20 Claimants file names with court administrator; 
  entitled to copies.  

    Any person having or claiming an interest in any land in 
 any county may, upon payment of a fee of 50 cents, file with the 
 court administrator of the county a statement of the following:  
 name, place of residence, post office address, and a description 
 of the land in which an interest is held or claimed.  The court 
 administrator shall preserve all such statements, maintain an 
 alphabetical index thereof, and furnish certificates thereof in 
 like manner as certificates of judgments, upon payment of like 
 fees.  Every such statement shall be prima facie evidence and 
 constructive notice of the name, residence, address, and claim 
 of interest therein set forth to all persons interested in any 
 action hereunder respecting the lands described in the statement.
 Service of summons, notices, or other process in any action 
 hereunder respecting such lands may be made upon the maker of 
 the statement at the place of residence stated, if within the 
 state, as if the same were the maker's house of usual abode.  If 
 the residence stated be without the state, a copy of the summons 
 and any other paper required to be mailed in the action shall be 
 mailed to the maker of the statement at the address therein 
 stated.  Any such statement may be withdrawn by the maker at any 
 time by written notice to the court administrator.
