Answer Happy

Dagwood conveyed property to Blondie by a deed dated
June 1. Blondie did not record the deed or take possession of
the property. Dagwood then conveyed the property to Dithers who
promptly recorded the deed and took possession of the property.
Blondie claimed ownership based on her earlier deed. Would her
claim be recognized?
Yes, because priority is given to the deed with the
earlier date
Yes, because Dagwood’s conveyance to Dithers
constitutes fraud
No because priority is given to the deed with the
later date
No, because Blondie did not provide constructive or
actual notice of her ownership
