(2) Even though the existence of the contract or assignment appears from the record of the instrument or by reference to it in another recorded instrument, such person has not recorded a deed to the property or a judgment recognizing the person’s rights to the property and is not in actual possession of the property as defined in s. 95.16, then
the person and those claiming under the person shall have no further interest in the property by virtue of the contract or assignment.
