question

Two brothers owned a parcel of real estate as joint tenants. Both brothers signed a deed as grantors conveying the land to the buyer. The first brother handed the deed to the second brother with instructions to take the deed to their lawyer for approval prior to delivery. Brother two, without his brother's permission, took the deed directly to the buyer and collected the sale price. Is this a good deed as to partner one?

options

  1. Yes, the deed was signed by both partners, which proved their intent to sell to buyer, and it was delivered at the time of signing by the fact of affixing their signatures to the document.
  2. Yes, the deed is valid as the buyer was not aware of the internal agreement between the two brothers.
  3. No, the deed is invalid as partner one did not give explicit permission for partner two to deliver the deed.
  4. Yes, the deed is valid as partner two had the authority to finalize the deal.
  5. No, the deed is invalid because partner two collected the sale price without partner one's consent.
  6. Yes, the deed is valid as both brothers had signed it, signifying their agreement to the sale.
  7. Yes, the transfer is valid from both partners because partner two was partner one's apparent agent for purposes of delivering the deed.
  8. No, the deed was invalid as to both grantors because partner two stepped outside his scope of authority.
  9. No, the deed cannot bind partner one because he did not participate in the deed delivery to the buyer and did not intend to deliver the deed up to the grantee at that time.
  10. No, the deed is not valid as the lawyer did not approve it before delivery.
