JUDICIAL DECISIONS
Recorded deed constitutes notice.
- A duly filed and recorded deed to secure debt is notice of all the rights which the grantee has thereunder. Cummings v. Johnson, 218 Ga. 559, 129 S.E.2d 762 (1963).
Creditor reliance on judicial determination justified.- Creditors were entitled to rely upon a previous judicial determination that their secured property had not been transferred and to proceed with their foreclosure sale, following the filing of a bankruptcy petition by the alleged transferee, on the assumption that the property was not part of the bankruptcy estate. Albany Partners, Ltd. v. Westbrook, 749 F.2d 670 (11th Cir. 1984).
