(a)
(1) In all actions for the recovery of lands, except in actions of forcible entry and unlawful detainer, the plaintiff shall set forth in his or her complaint all deeds and other written evidences of title on which he or she relies for the maintenance of his or her suit.
(2) The plaintiff shall file copies of the evidences as far as they can be obtained, as exhibits therewith, and shall state such facts as shall show a prima facie title in himself or herself to the land in controversy.
(b) The defendant in his or her answer shall plead in the same manner as required from the plaintiff. The defendant in his or her answer shall set forth exceptions to any of the documentary evidence relied on by the plaintiff to which he or she may wish to object, and the exceptions shall specifically note the objections taken.
(c) The plaintiff shall in the same manner, within three (3) days after the filing of the answer, unless longer time is given by the court, file like exceptions to any documentary evidence exhibited by the defendant.
(d) All the exceptions shall be passed on by the court and shall be sustained or overruled, as the law may require. If any exception is sustained to any of the evidence, it shall not be used at the trial unless the defect for which the exception is taken shall be covered by amendment.
(e) All objections to the evidence not specifically pointed out in the manner provided in this section shall be waived.
