CONT

Good consideration is such as that of blood, or of natural love and affection, being founded on motives of generosity, prudence, and natural duty; hence "good" consideration is sometimes opposed to "valuable" consideration, i. e., one by which some benefit accrues to the promisor or some detriment to the promisee. The only purpose for which a good consideration in this sense was effectual was to support a covenant to stand seised to uses and rebut the presumption of a resulting trust on a voluntary conveyance.(Jowitt, p. 424-425)

CONT

... the "natural love and affection" which a parent might feel for a child, was sometimes held to be consideration for a promise to give something to the child. While this might be "good" consideration(and therefore could have some effect in situations involving equity), it was eventually held not to be valuable consideration, the only kind of consideration to which the common law gave effect.

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).

OBS

Under the Law of Property Act 1925 the word [purchaser] means a purchaser in good faith for valuable consideration, and includes a lessee, mortgagee, or other person who for valuable consideration acquires an interest in property...(Mozley and Whiteley, 10th, p. 370-371)

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).
