Tract Indexes

• Much easier to use for most types of transactions
• Exist almost everywhere privately; and as official public record in a few jurisdictions
• Many states have rules based on grantor-grantee indexes even if public or private tract indexes exist

Problems in way things are recorded or indexed that frustrate basic search. If significant enough: – Can mean no record notice– Can mean not “recorded” for purpose of
race-notice

Problems in way things are recorded or indexed that frustrate basic search. Examples: (FYI; not tested)
• Documents recorded out of usual order• Document refers to several lots w/o listing
individually (all land owned by X)• Same person referred to by different name on

DQ114: INTENT TO RUN
Generally: Fact Question
• Can be explicit language in the covenant– Davidson Bros. “This restriction shall be a
covenant attached to and running with the lands”
– Runyon (burden only): “running with said land by whomsoever owned”
• Can be inferred from circumstances
![Page 31: Music: Madonna, I’m Breathless (1992) Coming Attractions Mon 4/16: Make-Up Class 8:00-8:55 am (here) Wed 4/18: Beatles & Grateful Dead Critiques Due Fri](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f125503460f94c2545a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
DQ114: INTENT TO RUN
Runyon: Agreement was explicit about intent regarding the burden running, but not the benefit.
What evidence did the court rely on to determine that the parties also intended the benefit to run?
![Page 32: Music: Madonna, I’m Breathless (1992) Coming Attractions Mon 4/16: Make-Up Class 8:00-8:55 am (here) Wed 4/18: Beatles & Grateful Dead Critiques Due Fri](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f125503460f94c2545a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
DQ114: INTENT TO RUN
Runyon: evidence that the parties intended the benefit to run?
• Explicit intent to have burden run indefinitely suggests right to enforce also must run
• Limit to residential use significantly affects value of nearby lots; suggests tied to land
• Circumstances suggest concern with character of neighborhood– part of secluded parcel – she continued to live next door there & receive benefit
![Page 33: Music: Madonna, I’m Breathless (1992) Coming Attractions Mon 4/16: Make-Up Class 8:00-8:55 am (here) Wed 4/18: Beatles & Grateful Dead Critiques Due Fri](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f125503460f94c2545a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
DQ114: INTENT TO RUN
Runyon: evidence that the parties intended the benefit to run?
• Court doesn’t mention, but note she died the year after the transaction.
• Could argue that if she was old or very ill when provision was drafted, not much point in restricting just for herself .

DQ115: NOTICE: Runyon
Like Intent Issue: Ds claim that notice must include explicit reference to benefit running. Court says sufficient notice from:
• Notice that burden intended to run; • Notice from records that lot carved

DQ117: PRIVITY
The comment to the Restatement (quoted on P895) says the requirement of horizontal privity “can easily be circumvented with a conveyance to a strawperson….” What does this mean?
E.g., Dorothy and Glinda are neighbors. They agree to mutual restrictions on their lots (all paving must be yellow brick) and want them to be enforceable as real covenants. What do they do?

VERTICAL: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ORIGINAL PARTY TO THE TRANSACTION AND CURRENT PARTY TO THE DISPUTE
• In Runyon, why is vertical privity met as to Williams and not as to the Runyons?
• If you were the lawyer for Mrs. Gaskins and she wanted the Runyons to be able to enforce the provision, what could you have done?
