Recording Deeds-USeini Information.

Recording Deeds promptly after the
sale and transfer of property, would save
parties long and tedious law suits. A
writer in the Lancaster lntelligencer, with
a view of showing the importance OF this
matter. gives the present law IN this State
in relation TO the subject:
"a deed should always be recorded;
but a deed not recorded is still valid. pro-
vided the same property has not been
conveyed TO different parties. Ii so, the
party having his deed first recorded within
six months OF execution, has the best
claim TO the property so conveyed. This
is the law in Pennsy tho
necessity Of recording land titles within
six months of executing them. But there
are many other reasons why deeds should
be recorded. For instance, in the des-
truction of title by fire or otherwise,
what difficulty and expense it occasions
TO obtain another title, which, if the deed
had been recorded. could all have been
saved, with the exception of two or three
dollars for a copy at the Recorders office.
Another great reason why deeds should
be recorded is, that persons often pretend
to own property for which they hold no
title, and defraud honest persons by giving
Judgment 1t has happened heretofore.
that persons had titles for properties and
on the strength thereof obtained money,
for which mortgages and judgments were
given, the holders of which thought them
selves perfectly safe; yet upon thorough
investigation. no title could be found. and
the persons who had advanced the money
were defrauded out of the same. Had the
tile been recorded, this could not have
happened. All bond titles should by all
means be recorded; it secures the purcha
ser as well as the money lender, and pre-
vents fraud"
