     § 3201.  Creation of condominium.
        A condominium may be created pursuant to this subpart only by
     recording a declaration executed, in the same manner as a deed,
     by all persons whose interests in the real estate will be
     conveyed to unit owners and by every lessor of a lease the
     expiration or termination of which will terminate the
     condominium or reduce its size, provided, however, in any such
     lease wherein the lessor is the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, a
     municipal government or any agency thereof, said lessor need not
     execute the declaration if they shall have previously given
     written consent to its filing and agreed to be bound by the
     provisions of the Pennsylvania Uniform Condominium Act, in which
     case said declaration shall be executed by the lessee then in
     possession of the subject property. The declaration shall be
     recorded in every county in which any portion of the condominium
     is located in the same records as are maintained for the
     recording of deeds of real property and shall be indexed against
     each declarant as the grantor and the name of the condominium as
     the grantee.
