He forces the lock open, extracts the deed and records it. Oren s will leaves all of his real property to his sister Betty. Oren was not truthful when he spoke to Art and therefore none of his oral statements should be given credence. Oren did not intend an effective delivery in this case. Oren mistakenly gave Art the wrong key and is irrelevant to the outcome.
Intent is a key element of effective delivery.
A. Is wrong because if there were a delivery in the first place, Oren could not revoke it. The other two answers do not support Betty s case. Is irrelevant to the outcome because Oren gave Art physical possession of the deed and intent is immaterial to delivery. Is evidence that Oren intentionally gave him a key that did not fit. B might be correct if it did not stay that intent is immaterial to delivery, which is clearly wrong.
