"Property Claims." Bruce sells his home to Sally and her mother, Ruthy. The deed and documents of ownership held by Sally and Ruthy are written such that Sally and Ruthy may each sell or devise her interest in the property. Bruce provides Sally and Ruthy with a general warranty deed. The deed and other documents of sale contain an easement giving George a right to cut across the property in order to obtain access to an adjoining lake. George had purchased the easement from Bruce a few years earlier. After Sally and Ruthy moved in, they saw George cutting through the yard with his fishing pole. They told him to get out. He told them about the easement, but Sally told him that she was the new owner and that she was not accepting it. The next week Alice, the next door neighbor, came over to visit and told Sally and Ruthy that she actually owned a good bit of the yard that was conveyed to Sally in her deed from Bruce and that she would like to sell it to Ruthy and Alice. Alice explained that some years prior to Bruce's ownership, she had purchased the property from a previous owner. It turns out that Alice had actually recorded her interest, but it had been inadvertently missed when the property was sold to Sally and Ruthy. Sally calls Bruce and tells him to straighten out the problem with Alice. Bruce tells her that he is finished with the property and that all problems now belong to her and Ruthy. -Which of the following is true regarding Bruce's statement that he has no obligation to be involved with the dispute with Alice?


A) He is correct but only because he was not the previous owner who allegedly transferred the interest to Alice.
B) He is correct but only if in addition to not being the transferor to Alice, he had no knowledge of any previous transfer to Alice.
C) He is correct.
D) He is incorrect, and his general warranty deed likely imposes upon him a duty to resolve the dispute involving Alice through proving her wrong, settling with her, or other means.
E) He is incorrect only if Alice was truly granted the property and is not engaged in fraud.

Which of the following was the result in Double Diamond Properties v.

"Family Dispute." When Trudy and Mark married, they both had children from previous marriages. After their marriage, Trudy and Mark purchased a home together as tenants by the entirety and lived there for many years. Mark died when he was 93 and Trudy was 95. Mark's will left any property he owned to his son, Alex, who promptly told Trudy that she needed to get out of the house. Trudy told him to forget it. Trudy died a week later. Her will left everything she owned to her daughter, Samantha, who moved in the home and refuses to leave. Mandy, who had loaned Mark $10,000, has filed a claim against any heir of Mark or Trudy, including Alex and Samantha, claiming an interest in the home to satisfy the debt Mark owed her. -Which of the following would be the most likely result regarding Alex's claim to ownership of the house upon Mark's death?
