Supreme Court of Appeals, West Va.
April IA. 1900.
WHEN A DEED WHICH WAS
READY FOR DELIVERY WAS
PUT BY THE GRANTOR IN A
CHEST AMONG HIS PRIVATE
PAPERS. BUT NOTHING WAS
SAID BY GRANTOR AS TO IT'S
DELIVERY THE DEED WAS NOT
DELIVERED ALTHOUGH THE
GRANTEE CARRIED THE KEYS
OF THE CHEST. AND HAD AC-
CESS TO 1T.
The grantor in a deed executed and
acknowledged 1t and put it away in
his chest, but it was not then deliv-
cred by anything then said or done
by him. The grantee in the deed had
the keys to the chest and access to it.
The question in this suit was whether
the said deed had been delivered to
the grantee and whether he got title
under It,
The court says:
To constitute n delivery OF deed
the grantor must by act, or word, or
both. part with all right of possession
and dominion over the instrument with
the Intent that it shall take effect as
his deed" 1T is elementary law that
the delivery OF deed is as indispensa-
BILE as the seal or signature of the
grantor. Without this act on the part
OF the grantor. by which he makes
known his final determination to con-
eummate the conveyance, all the pre-
ceding formalities are impotent to
impart vitality to it as n solemn in
strument of title" On this point, in
Lang V. Smith. this court said:
Where a deed was executed and ac-
knowledged, but was not delivered by
anything then said or done, but was
laid away in the decedents drawer,
where he kept his papers. together
With his will. executed at the same
time. and after the grantors death
the supposed deed and will are found
ing Is not his deed. never having been
delivered" Now, there can be no
question but that Samuel h. Keener.
at the time he executed the four deeds
mentioned in the record intended to
divide his property In that manner
among his children; but his circum-
stances changed. and he was compelled
to dispose of oprtion of his lands
so that he was prevented from carry
ing out his original intention. and. not
wlthstnndng the Intellectual attempts
to acquire title to this 3S3. acre tract
OF land by obtaining possession
of the deed, and placing 1t on record
by means of misrepresentation the
testimony discloses nothing that could
in any manner be construed into de-
livery of this deed to the grantees in
their lifetime. or to any one entitled
TO receive the same since their death
