Naomi signed, delivered, and recorded a deed to a vacation home, transferring the home to her former college roommate Jill. A year after the deed was recorded, Naomi needed money and asked Jill to give the home back to her. Jill agreed and returned the original deed signed by Naomi to her. Does Naomi now own the vacation home?
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
Naomi probably does not own the vacation home. The deed to Jill caused ownership of the home to vest in Jill upon delivery and recordation. A return of the original recorded deed to Naomi would not have the effect of cancelling the deed and returning title to Naomi. A proper cancellation would require a new deed from Jill to Naomi. The deed would need to be signed by Jill, delivered to Naomi, and recorded.
