Crowther v. Mower

Mrs. Crowther validly quitclaimed her joint-tenancy interest in a parcel to her son Mower (defendant) before her death but instructed him not to record the deed until after she predeceased her husband, Mr. Crowther (plaintiff); Mower recorded the deed shortly after her death, and Mr. Crowther sued to quiet title, arguing the delayed recording invalidated the conveyance and that he acquired his wife's interest by survivorship, and the trial court granted him summary judgment.
