## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- holding that two grantees claiming under the after-acquired-title doctrine pursuant to conveyances before the grantor was vested in legal title took priority according to first in time principle where equities were equal

## Opinion text

OPALA, Justice,
concurring.
Because the priority, if any, which may be asserted by Hamrick’s mortgagee over the revested Holleman and Epperly interest is not drawn in controversy nor decided by this appeal, I concur in the Court’s opinion and in its judgment.
