Deutsche Bank v. Arrington

Holding

In this appeal, we consider whether Code § 55-52, which codifies the doctrine of after-acquired title, retroactively cures a title defect in a deed of trust to subject the interest of a subsequent purchaser without notice or a lien creditor to the deed of trust. We also consider whether a party who acquires a deed of trust pursuant to a court order is a lien creditor, and whether a prior deed of trust recorded outside a party’s chain of title is “duly admitted to record” for purposes of Code § 55-96(A).
