California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 2 — Property, Part 4 — Acquisition of Property, Title 4 — Transfer, Chapter 4 — Recording Transfers, Article 4 — Effect of Recording, or the Want Thereof, Section 1217
An unrecorded instrument is valid as between the parties thereto and those who have notice thereof.
Notes
Establishes that an unrecorded instrument remains valid between the parties to that instrument and against persons who have notice of it. Recording is therefore not required for validity in those relationships when the affected person is a party or has notice of the unrecorded instrument.
