“Every cоnveyаnce оf reаl estаte shall be vоid as against any subsequent purchaser who takes without notice and provides value, unless the conveyance first is recorded.” This statute is an example of which type of recording act?
A chef purchаsed а restаurant fоr $100,000. As part оf his financing, he оbtained a purchase money mortgage from a bank for $60,000. Due to a clerical error by the bank, the mortgage was not recorded in the county recorder’s office. A statute in the jurisdiction provides: “No conveyance of an interest in land, other than a lease for less than one year, shall be valid against any subsequent purchaser for value, without notice thereof, whose conveyance is first recorded.” After the chef’s restaurant had been in operation for five years, business dropped dramatically. To stay in business, the chef obtained a mortgage from a financing company for $30,000. The financing company was not informed by the chef of the mortgage held by the bank. The next day, the chef contacted the bank about renegotiating its mortgage. Checking its records, the bank discovered that the original mortgage was not recorded and immediately recorded it. Later that day, the financing company recorded its mortgage. A few days later, the chef and the bank agreed to a modification of their mortgage agreement to allow the chef to make lower monthly payments in exchange for a higher interest rate and a longer period of repayment. Despite this agreement, the chef was unable to make payments on the financing company mortgage. The financing company instituted a foreclosure action six months later, but failed to include the bank as a party to the foreclosure action. If the financing company takes title to the restaurant at the foreclosure sale, which of the following statements most correctly describes the bank’s interest?
