One who purchases real property without notice, actual or constructive, of any superior rights or interests in the property. The state recording statutes are designed to protect an innocent purchaser for value from the secret claims of a prior purchaser. (Reilly, 2nd, p. 243)

CONT

If a person who has notice (except in the case of a charity) sells to another who has no notice, and is a "bona fide" purchaser for valuable consideration, the latter may protect his title, although it was affected with the equity arising from notice in the hands of the person from whom he derived it ... (Jowitt, 2nd ed., 1977, pp. 1253-1254).

Record 3 2004-05-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

Proper recordation imparts constructive notice to the world of the existence of the recorded document and its contents. It protects both innocent purchasers for value who act in ignorance of an unrecorded instrument and the grantee in the event that the deed is altered or lost. Any conveyance not properly recorded is generally void as against any subsequent purchaser, lessee, or mortgagee in good faith and for a valuable consideration who, without having actual notice of the unrecorded conveyance, records his or her subsequent interest in the property.(Reilly, 2nd ed., 1982, p. 396).
