    Yes - however, if another deed is recorded before it is recorded, then that would rule... RECORDING the deed is IMPERATIVE!

    Or if someone dies before it's filed - people for whatever reason sign deeds, never file them - and then they die and the filed deed prevails during the ensuing Court battle.

    This same issue was posted twice under 2 different headings - should be combined for ease in answering.
