In 1888, a landowner owned a dairy farm. The landowner conveyed this real property to his son in1938. In 1953, the son conveyed the dairy farm to his friend. This deed was not recorded until after the son's death in 1957. In 1956, the son mortgaged the dairy farm to the bank. The mortgage instrument, which was recorded in 1956, recited that it was subordinate to a mortgage on the same land given by the son to an investor in 1936 and recorded in 1936. In that instrument the son purported to grant the investor a mortgage on the dairy farm. In 1979, the friend conveyed the dairy farm to a farmer.

options

  1. the farmer, unless the covenantee is disturbed in his actual enjoyment of the land thereby conveyed.
  2. the buyer, if the farmer knew about the mortgage to the investor but did not disclose it.
  3. the buyer, because the covenant against encumbrances protects against future claims on the property.
  4. the buyer, because the covenant of the right to convey was breached.
  5. the farmer, because the son's mortgage to the investor was not mentioned in the deed.
  6. the buyer, because the covenant against encumbrances is a guarantee to the grantee that the property is not subject to outstanding rights or interests.
  7. the farmer, if the mortgage to the investor was satisfied before the sale to the buyer.
  8. the buyer, because the covenant against encumbrances would be breached at the time the deed was delivered, thereby entitling the covenantee to recover damages.
  9. the farmer, because the buyer did not perform a thorough title search before purchasing the property.
  10. the farmer, because the covenant against encumbrances may only be breached, if at all, at the time of conveyance.
