Lenhart v. Desmond
Wyoming Supreme Court (1985) | 705 P.2d 338; 1985 Wyo. LEXIS 550
TL;DR: A father executed a deed to his daughter, placing it in a safety deposit box. The daughter later recorded it. The court invalidated the deed, finding no present intent by the father to transfer title, thus no valid delivery.
Legal Significance: This case underscores that a grantor's present intent to divest themself of title is crucial for effective deed delivery, irrespective of the grantee's possession or recording of the deed.
