Heading: Interests of Third Parties

Text: ¶ 26 Arnold objects that a corrective warranty deed cannot impact the interests of third parties. In the instant case, however, whatever had transpired in the interim, the same persons executed the 1982 warranty deed and the 1991 corrective warranty deed. Lowenberg, the grantee in 1982, still owned the property benefitted by the easement. Thus, as of January 1991, there were no third parties of record with an interest in either property whose rights could intervene. The fact that the Arnold Property may have been conveyed away from Western Management or its partners and then conveyed back between 1982 and 1991 is irrelevant where none of the intervening fee holders could claim a current interest in the property, or point to any way in which the 1991 corrective warranty deed altered their interests. ¶ 27 The four partners could not, and did not, claim that the 1991 corrective warranty deed compromised their rights in the Arnold Property. Consequently, Arnold's arguments on property ownership in a partnership, entity theory, and agency law are irrelevant in this context, and the 1982 warranty deed and the 1991 corrective warranty deed, acting together, operated to create a valid easement for a right-of-way burdening the Arnold Property for the benefit of the Love Property.
