Oscаr bоught а hоuse fоr $100,000. To help finаnce the purchase, he borrowed (1) $40,000 from Lois secured by a mortgage on the home and (2) $50,000 from Larry secured by a mortgage on the home. Lois recorded her mortgage, but Larry did not do so. Oscar later sold the house to Betty, who recorded her deed. As part of the deal, Betty agreed to pay Oscar’s remaining debt to Lois, which she did. Betty did not know about Larry’s mortgage when she purchased the house. A year later, Betty entered into a contract to sell the house to Vince; the contract contained no provision about the quality of title that Betty would deliver. Vince recently learned that Larry claims to hold a mortgage on the house; Vince also received a title report showing that Lois has a mortgage on the house. Is Vince obligated to purchase the house?
