Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the above case, Adella executed a deed and put it under her mattress along with a note directing that the deed is to be delivered to her cousin, Faro, upon her death. This deed is not effective to pass title after Adella's death as it is will not be delivered to Faro during Adella's lifetime. A deed, to be valid, must be delivered in the lifetime of the grantor.
