Deeds - Effectiveness Of Deeds Delivered With Blank For Name Of Grantee
Michigan Law Review
In an action upon an oral contract to recover the purchase price of an equity in realty, it appeared that the plaintiff executed a deed with a blank left for the name of the grantee and delivered it to the defendant, whereupon the latter refused to make the promised payment, and suit was brought.

Michigan Law Review
In I 902, Y, the owner of riparian land, granted to W, by deed then recorded, the flowage rights over such land. Some years later by general warranty deed containing no reference to the easement, the servient land was conveyed to L, from whom by similar successive conveyances it came to the plaintiff.

Doctrine Of Lis Pendens In Legal Actions Affecting Land, The, Gardner Smith
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
From conversations which the writer has had with various members of the Bar, including title attorneys, there seems to be a general belief that purchasers of land from a party to a pending suit affecting it, are not charged with constructive knowledge of such suit unless a notice of its pendency is filed in the office of the Recorder of Deeds, as provided by Section 3155, R. S. Mo. 1929. This, however, is not the case except as to the limited character of actions mentioned in this section. As will be pointed out, there are many types of real actions …

Mortgages - Priorities Between Mortgages And Mechanics' Liens, Robert S. Eastin
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
Since they are of statutory origin, mechanics' liens must be classified and treated upon a different basis than other common liens, which owe at least a large part of their existence to the rules of the common law and equity. The rules governing the priorities of such liens are in many respects similar to those followed with regard to mortgages and other contractual liens. However, for various reasons, the rules as to, the priorities given to mechanics liens are sufficiently different to bear separate study. It is the purpose of this note to inquire into the particular question of priorities …
