21. A man conveyed land by quitclaim deed as a gift to his cousin, who did not then record the deed or take possession of the land. Six months later, when the man was still in possession, he conveyed the land by quitclaim deed as a gift to a friend, who knew nothing of the deed to the cousin. The friend did not record his deed. The man then vacated the land, and the friend took possession.   The recording act of the jurisdiction provides as follows: “No unrecorded conveyance or mortgage of real property shall be good against subsequent purchasers for value without notice, who shall first record.”   Recently, the cousin learned about the friend’s deed and possession, immediately recorded her deed, and sued the friend for possession and to quiet title. The friend then recorded his deed and raised all available defenses.   For whom is the court likely to decide?

Question 2   Larry was always short of cash and owed money to his friend Moe. Looking for a way to raise money fast, he came up with a scheme by which he could raise money fast and get Moe off his back.   On April 1, Larry approached his friend Harry and offered to purchase Stoogeacre, which Harry owned, for $100,000. Harry agreed, and he and Larry executed a valid sale contract for the sale of Stoogeacre. The contract was not recorded, and closing was scheduled for May 1.   On April 15, Larry approached his friend Curly and offered to sell Stoogeacre to Curly for $150,000. Curly jumped at the offer, and Larry conveyed Stoogeacre to Curly via a valid general warranty deed. Curly recorded the deed on April 30.
