The affidavit or a duly certified copy thereof shall be admissible in evidence on the issue of whether the power of sale was duly executed.

(c)If the recording required by this section is made more than 60 days after the sale, the affidavit shall state why the recording was not made earlier.
(d)Failure to record the deed and affidavit within the statutory period required by this subsection shall render the sale void and of no effect only as to liens or other encumbrances of record intervening between the day of the sale and the time of recording of the deed and affidavit.
(e)Correction of error. In case of an alleged error or omission in the affidavit, the court, on petition and after notice to interested parties, may validate the affidavit or authorize the recording of an affidavit amending, correcting, or in substitution for an affidavit so recorded, and the affidavit so authorized to be recorded or a certified copy of the record thereof shall have the same effect and shall be admitted in evidence as if it had been recorded within the 90-day period required by this section.
