  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
OBS

Innocent conveyances, a covenant to stand seised, a bargain and sale, and a release, so called because, since they conveyed the actual possession by construction of law only, they did not confer a larger estate in property than the person conveying possessed, and therefore, if a greater estate was conveyed by these deeds than a person had, they were only void "pro tanto" for the excess. But a feoffment of such larger estate was a tortious conveyance, and therefore, under such circumstances, would have been void altogether, and produce a forfeiture. But the "Real Property Act", 1845, s. 4, provided that a feoffment should not have any tortious operation; it therefore became an innocent conveyance.(Jowitt, p. 978)

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).
