Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Ohio

Mortgage taken out with personal line of credit using POA. POA not recordable with recorder.

Mortgage filed 04/26/2011. Affidavit recorded 05/12/2011 attaching POA.

Ohio revised codes states a POA must be recorded prior to any mortgage.

Is this loan enforceable if I stop making payments?
