Kramer & Costanza is a law firm that handles real estate litigation cases in New York. Bill is a paralegal at the firm who is assigned to work with Mr. Seinfeld on the Grant case. In that case, the plaintiff claims he is rightful owner of real estate that the previous owner sold to both the plaintiff and to Mr. Grant. Mr. Seinfeld has drafted a motion for summary judgment and has asked Bill to collect and organize copies of the documents referenced in the motion. Bill then reviews the motion and sees that he will need to retrieve a copy of the deed to Mr. Grant from the document production. The document production includes three versions of the deed. From the following list, which version is the best version to use as an exhibit?
  1. An exemplar version that was attached to sale and purchase contract as an exhibit.
  2. A version of the deed bearing the signature of the seller.
  3. A notarized version of the deed bearing the signature of the seller.
  4. A recorded version of the notarized deed bearing the signature of the seller.
Explanation
Answer: D - A recorded version of the notarized deed bearing the signature of the seller. Answer D is the best choice because it is recorded and the lawsuit involves competing claims for the same land conveyed by the same prior owner to different buyers. In most cases, the recorded version will be the best choice.
