Madison owned a tract of land, but he was not sure that he had full title to the property. When Rafael expressed an interest in buying the land, Madison sold it to Rafael and executed a Quitclaim Deed. Rafael properly recorded the deed in the county courthouse immediately. Several months later, Madison learned that he did in fact have full title to the tract of land. He then sold the land to Linda by Warranty Deed. Linda knew of the earlier purchase by Rafael but took the deed anyway. Later, she sued to have Rafael evicted from the land. Linda claimed that because she had a Warranty Deed, her title to the land was better than that conferred by Rafaels Quitclaim Deed.
